I always find it fascinating how our passion can take on many forms and mean different things to us throughout our lives. I also believe you need to do things you want to do while you’re healthy and while you can because the opportunity to do so may not always be there. So get out there and do what you love for as long as you can.

On this episode of Just In Stride I shared a great conversation with former pro marathon and now coach, Rob Watson.

Simply put, Rob was a pure talent and wanted to run fast. He ran in school and after, in pursuit of his Olympic dream.

He never actually made an Olympic team but it certainly wasn’t for a lack of trying. He ran huge mileage and went all in on his training, traveling to compete in order to make strides in his sport. He’s won 4 national titles and qualified for a bunch of international competitions, including 2 world championships. Today he enjoys sharing his expertise and knowledge with others through coaching, in order to help athletes achieve their own goals.
