I Ran a Half Marathon With ZERO Training and This Happened
In this video, I break down my wild experience of running a half marathon with zero preparation. No structured training plan, no fancy running gear, just sheer stubbornness, and a David Goggins motivational video to push me through. From forgetting I even signed up for the race to battling every excuse in the book, you’ll see how I managed to cross the finish line—and whether it’s a good idea to try this yourself (spoiler: probably not).
Along the way, I share the valuable lessons I learned:
-If you say you’ll do something, follow through.
-Push through discomfort—your mind quits before your body does.
-Stop overthinking—just start, even if you're not ready.
This story isn't just about running—it's a reminder that the same principles apply to life and business. Whether it’s picking up the phone to make real estate calls or signing up for an Ironman (even if you DNF’d twice like I did), sometimes the hardest part is just getting started.
WATCH NOW and see if it’s really possible to run a half marathon without training—and how it felt to go from 80 pounds overweight to finishing a race I had no business starting.
