Miles & Mountains

Listen to how a dedicated runner shifts gears and picks up a barbell? Join us as we catch up with Jose Garcia, who shares his transformative journey from ultra running to weightlifting. With a newborn on the way, Jose's life has been a whirlwind of change, and he opens up about how his "sabbatical" turned into a period of intense physical transformation. He talks his adventures, including a competitive ultra run with his girlfriend Melissa, and the fascinating changes in his training and eating habits.
Finally, we dive into the challenges of being a hybrid athlete, combining weightlifting with running. Get ready to bust some myths as Jose and our hosts discuss the misconception that you can't do both. Hear about the importance of hydration, especially when incorporating sauna sessions into the routine, and the temptations of unhealthy habits. The episode wraps up with personal stories, fitness goals, and the excitement of an expanding family. Don't miss this engaging and inspiring conversation that highlights the essence of resilience, dedication, and the power of supportive friendships.
