I often say that social media is a two edged sword. On one hand, it can consume our time and we can easily compare ourselves to others, putting us in a negative mental space. On the other, we can document our journey and share it with anyone out there willing to listen, potentially impacting someone in a more positive way. I much prefer the latter if I do say so myself.On today’s episode of Just In Stride I had the chance to connect with Ultrarunner and content creator, Rob Perez.Rob got into running as a way to prepare for the intense training he experienced during his time with the U.S Navy. He built his base running 5 miles daily, quickly jumping into ultra running events covering 50 kilometers and beyond.After years of consistency, Rob took on the challenge and completed The Speed Project Solo earlier this year and plans on completing the international edition, by crossing the Atacama desert this November. Above all else, Rob loves creating useful running content on his social platforms, covering registration hacks, training tips, fueling advice and so much more. All in an attempt to help fellow runners as he hopes to make running more available and accessible to all.-------Offer from Xact Nutrition: This episode is presented by our friends at Xact Nutrition and they are offering you 15% OFF your order when you use the code JUSTINSTRIDE.
