Marathon + Ironman Training (This Is My Why)
In this video I discuss why I do Ironman & Marathon races. The good, the bad, and what my motivation is. I’m currently 8 weeks out from the Jersey City marathon and battling a knee injury.
As athletes, injuries can make or break a race. We also tend to obsess over the end result of crossing the finish line in a certain time. I’m taking this injury as a learning lesson. I encourage you all to enjoy the journey no matter what happens.
Please like and subscribe if you enjoyed this video. I’d love to have you along on the journey. Much love!
-Mike

    next time just go slower. It's not that hard. People don't know what hard is. it's still leisure and only one day. You're not a slave picking cotton. Even their tone of voice sounds stupid. "i was born a poor black child and then a i did ironman, and it was the hardest day of my life." How does the sport grow or why would other people do it? There is an eighty year old nun that does it. Cheer the hell up.
