Ep. 95 - Redefining Success & Embracing Life And Faith With D1 Athlete Michael Maiorano
Manage episode 438854860 series 3564577
Michael has ran for Gonzaga University in Spokane Washington. Right now, his situation is a bit complicated, living in Salt Lake, but Michael is nonetheless making a huge mark in the sport, with personal bests of 8:14 in the 3000 meters and 14:36 in the 5000 meters. Before Gonzaga, he had a remarkable high school career, including a 12th place finish at the Eastbay National Cross Country Championships and, 2nd at the Brooks PR 3200. Michael also holds a special passion for mountain running, having competed for Team USA in the Mountain Running World Championships twice, in Thailand and Australia.
But today is about much more than the times. Michael and I delve into many of the deeper lessons and aspects of life that running is very much connected to: the importance of embracing both good and bad days, how spirituality, his connection with God, and running interconnect for him. Michael also touches on his goals and the broader role of running in life.
