Today, I interviewed Dylan Roche, a writer, and avid runner from Annapolis Maryland.
Dylan has a simple philosophy when it comes to running: Do what challenges you, and stop if it starts to hurt. He started running in college as a self-confessed way "to turn his life around," and he discovered a love of fitness, adventure, and seeing just what his body is capable of doing. Now nearly 20 years later, he can say he's run marathons, ultra-marathons, 24-hour challenges, and triathlons, and he averages about 100 miles a week. But he still thinks of his biggest accomplishment as the fact that he gets out there every day because he knows it makes him feel good—it's why he has a 10-year running streak going. When he's not running or outside on another adventure, he's an award-winning journalist and the author of a few fantasy novels.
Episode Highlights:
Dylan talks about his current run streak and his philosophy behind why he continues his daily running day after day
How running helps to support both Dylan's physical and mental well-being
We discuss the analogies between the mental toughness needed during an ultra marathon and the tougher challenge of life
