#01: The Man Who Runs 100+ Miles Per Week - Andrew Glaze

Written by Kevin Wathey | February 16, 2024

Andrew Glaze is an ultramarathoner (formerly #1 on Strava), a fire station captain, and a consistency machine.

Andy's social media content has continually been a source of inspiration for amateur and professional runners alike. Today we cover consistency, recovery, nutrition, mindset, and resilience.

Expect to learn what Andy thinks about consistency, what to do and not to do when preparing for a race, how to find another gear and push past mental barriers, and moreā€¦ including my personal favorite, how being a punk kid led to a faux kidnapping.
