Description

Meb is BACK, BACK AGAIN, to continue sharing his inspiring, goose bump provoking, tears in your eyes, story of working hard to achieve your dreams. If you haven’t heard the first part of the conversation, please go back and download Episode #85 so all of this make sense. During the second part of the conversation, we discuss:

The clothing Meb wears while on the ElliptiGo and traveling (hint, you can see tan lines from his CEP compression socks)
Designing his own shoes, the Go Run Strada and Go Meb 3 with Skechers
Where Meb has been this summer
What to say to him when you see him
Why he ran Boston in 2014 instead of the Los Angeles Marathon
How he was cheering on the runners in 2013 in Boston right before the bombs went off
How running Boston is like graduation day
Why he made a personal commitment to go for the win in Boston 2014
The rundown of the Boston Marathon and how he ran it (goose bump and crying alert!)
How he became the first American runner in 31 years to win Boston and what an honor it was for him to lead 36,000 runners on that beautiful, historic day
His faith in God and what God’s plan is for him to do
What and why it was one of his favorite running experience ever, which was held the Friday before the Boston Marathon at Old Soul’s Church on Boylston Street
The products including Krave, Ucan, Epson, CEP, Power Bar and ElliptiGo that help keep him strong and winning
His future plans including a fall marathon, running the Olympic trials on February 13, 2016 which will hopefully stamp his ticket to Rio
How running helps you be a better human being
What Meb’s advice is for running the rest of your life
