Relish The Journey | Running

This episode airs on November 28. That means Mark is running 28 miles today. Tomorrow he'll run 29. The next day? 30. Mark Dowdle is attempting to become the FIRST EVER person to complete the Calendar Club 365 Challenge -- where runs the same number of miles as the day of the month, every month, for one year. I've been following Mark on Instagram for some time now -- you should too, check out @mark.dowdle -- and was so impressed, I just had to speak with him. Enjoy what he had to say about the challenge, about running, and life in general. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/myles-biggs/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/myles-biggs/support

My first marathon was almost entirely during a downpour. At the time, it really messed with my head. Now, I LOVE running in the rain.

Season 5, starts now. Tune in as we pivot Relish The Journey to go all-in on running. Specifically endurance running. Since you've last heard from me, I've run three marathons and one ultramarathon -- about to make that two ultra marathons. Our guests this season will have run a minimum of 26.2 miles in a race and we're going to unpack their running journeys and how all that training translates to real life. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/myles-biggs/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/myles-biggs/support
