Josh Peterson Part 1: Walking Away, Reigniting the Spark, & First Breakthrough

Josh Peterson joins us for the first of a great two part series! Josh hosts his own podcast, Chasing Three Hours, a podcast about what runners are chasing, why they keep pushing themselves, and what keeps them curious.

We talk with Josh, the week before his big Fall race at the Des Moines Marathon. We start the podcast with his origin story, from running in high school to walking away from it to pursue other passions, and then finding it once again as an adult. We talk motivations to keep doing it, setbacks in those early years, and about finding a way to have running as a positive outlet. We close out part one on a high note, with a special race that got him to start thinking about what was possible.
