If you're looking for motivation to start or maintain your training, this conversation is packed with practical tips, real-life challenges, and a sense of adventure that will leave you ready to tackle your next race. Adam selected the iconic New York City Marathon for its high-energy atmosphere, but his journey hasn’t been typical. As someone constantly on the move, his training has spanned multiple continents, forcing him to adapt to different environments and terrains. From the bustling streets of Manhattan to rugged trails overseas, Adam's story highlights the power of perseverance and the thrill of exploring the world while staying fit. A central topic of discussion in this episode is the innovative GOES Health app, which Adam co-developed to enhance outdoor safety and provide essential medical guidance. Whether you're training in remote locations or simply preparing for your next race, this app is a game-changer.

His firsthand experience using the app in his own training demonstrates how it can be an invaluable tool for endurance athletes everywhere. Beyond training talk, the conversation takes a fun twist as Adam and the host dive into food debates that any athlete can relate to. From the great pineapple-on-pizza controversy to choosing the best dessert for post-race indulgence, the lighter side of the chat offers laughs and relatable moments.
