#586 - CJ Albertson and Mary Johnson at the California International Marathon

Let the post-California International Marathon fun begin!!! We had another historic weekend at CIM and I'm excited to bring you a boat load of episode over the next two weeks.
In this episode we have two pre-race live shows. The first was an interview that I did with Peter Bromka of CJ Albertson. CJ went on to win CIM in his third attempt by taking the lead with just two miles to go. In this conversation, CJ talk abouts his training leading into the race, his race selection this fall/winter, how it was impacted by the birth of his second child, and much more.
The second part of this episode is with Lift, Run, Perform founder Mary Johnson. We discuss the power of the group training programs she's created for people looking to achieve big stretch goals and the characteristics of high-achieving groups and runners. Mary also talks about her multi-year recovery from injury. Mary battled for years to find the right doctors and a path forward. She entered CIM with a conservative mindset after years of struggle but ended up having a dream day.
