RED EPISODE #89: World Record Holder for Double Amputees in the Marathon, Marko Cheseto

RUN

We are so excited because in this very special episode of our podcast, we talk with Marko Cheseto.  He is the current world-record holder for double amputees in the marathon distance.  We were lucky enough to meet him when he spoke at the Anchorage RunFest in August 2019.  He earned this title at the Boston Marathon in April 2019 and then broke his own record again at Chicago in October 2019.  He shares his story of adversity and advice for anyone who is training for a big goal or overcoming obstacles in life.  His positivity is contagious.  He will motivate and inspire you.  Listen to his words of wisdom in this episode.  Perfect for a long run or commute to work to get you in the right headspace for your own goals.

EAT

We asked Marko to share his favorite pre and post-race meals.  He says he is going to share his recipe for his pre-race meal.   Have you heard of Ugali?  Neither had we until we talked to Marko.  His post-race meal is so smart, but it was an answer we were not expecting.  Listen to find out more.  

DRINK

Can you guess what Marko’s favorite post-race beverage is to celebrate his accomplishment?  It will surprise you just as much as his favorite foods!
