On this episode, the boys had on special guest Alec Basten! Alec is a NCAA All-American and former professional steeplechaser that is now based out of the St. Louis area and preparing for his first marathon at CIM! He is currently being coached by David Roche so it was interesting to hear what Alec’s training is like!
We also talked about some obstacles Alec has had to overcome with both injuries and health. He also balances heavy training with being a physical therapist! We are excited to see what he does at CIM!
