From Child to Man-Child, My Complete (Athletic) History | This Is NOT A Running Podcast 

When I started getting into ultrarunning, I watched videos and read books, often wondering about the backgrounds of the athletes I was hoping to emulate. Were they great athletes? Had a predisposition for greatness? It's hard to take a snapshot of someone in time and figure out exactly where they came from from their image they portray now.
In this video, I provide a full background on myself in hopes to show you that my background was... nothing special... and that we probably share a few similarities. I take you on a quick walk through my childhood and adolescent years, then highlight my post-college period where I binge ate and drank, then focus primarily on what got me into running and what sparked my fuse for ultrarunning. I then end on a very brief synopsis of my first ultra up to my first 200 miler, providing a framework which you could replicate if you choose.
This video was incredibly fun to make, but I fear it may be incredibly boring to watch...at least to me, but that might be because I've both lived it and had to edit it! I do think it's important for those of you who, like me, were left wondering about the figures I was watching and taking advice from, so I hopes this puts "me" into better perspective and shows you that I possess no special qualities, other than motivation and maybe a bit of bull-headedness.
