365: John Calabrese Keeps Moving Forward
“If you’re feeling good you should go for it. But if you feel bad come race day and it’s not your day, just bow out. Don’t get further injured.”
John Calabrese is a dad, a runner, and a former military serviceman. In this episode, John chats with Luis about his upcoming race called Burning River 100, how he turned his life around, overcoming his addictions, going to AA, his running, how to deal with tough situations in a race, a spectacular failure he had to endure, where he runs in Virginia, Badwater 135, and advice to keep moving forward in life and running.
