John Calabrese is an ultra runner I met through Instagram. We recorded this interview the day before he tackles the Wild Oak Trail Run 100 miler. 🤯 You can track him via their Twitter, @TWOT100.
During this conversation we talk about:
- Balancing being and adult and ultra running
- Being a role model for his daughter and the importance of sport in personal growth
- John's sobriety and how he's been sober for 10+ years
- How the Navy is where he discovered running
- Battling demons and the mental challenge of ultra running
- How he joined #TeamDonald and what it's like being a caregiver
- Weird things people find on the trails
- Reviewing shoes for Believe In the Run and writing race recaps
