Mindset for sustainability.
Today’s Guest: Ben Reale
Information:
Ben Reale started running in high school but only as a mandatory extracurricular and then realized it was something he was good at.
In the first few years of college he didn’t do anything physical but in the last few years of his college career he started looking to do physical activity again for recreation, to look and feel good.
When he was in law school in Miami in 2008 he ran his second half-marathon, and that’s when he started exploring long distance running.
Then it all came down to being selected for the Marine Corps.
Ben had knee problems and had to undergo surgery and the recovery took about a year.
The doctors told him he could run again but when he started running it was very painful.
He specialized in the legal side of the military, but worked in the enforcement side of the law in security.
Things we discussed:
We talked about the RCS which is an intensive course in the military.
He started a company where the goal was to train people who are not just looking to do random workouts but are looking for a solid training program that addresses their lifestyle and nutrition.
We talked about how he helps his clients make the mindset change to have sustainable changes.
He wants to do the Tunnel Hill 100 next year.
