RB52: Andy Cloud – Running Tips From RunBuzz Community Members #5
Show notes:
In today’s episode, my special guest is, Andy Cloud. Andy is a member of the RunBuzz running community and he walks us through his personal journey on how he underwent a massive transformation in weight loss and as a runner. By cleaning up his diet and becoming more active he went from being 120+ pounds overweight to eventually managing a charity race.
- How he got started in running.
- His weight loss journey and personal transformation.
- How he signed up for his first 5k, trained for it, but then chickened out at the last moment causing him to drop out of running for awhile.
- How he got back into running after seeing a runner near the finish line do something incredible just after the bombs went off at the Boston marathon and after his doctor asked him to join a new running group being formed at their church.
- How Andy became the reluctant race director to help raise money for Peterson Outdoor Ministries, which helps provide outdoor recreation therapy for wounded or returning vets and their families.
- Andy shares some amazing weight loss tips. In fact, I have never even heard of them and when you hear them it makes perfect sense.
- Andy’s tip on mindfulness and willing yourself to run.
I hope you enjoy this series, and if you would like to share your running journey, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
Have a great week!
