My Story

It’s not unique. I am no different from you. Growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, running, especially outdoors in the year-round humidity was not something I did. I sort of “fell into running.”

After graduating college and having ample free time with no fitness goals, I decided I was going to “start working out.” I vividly remember running a mile on the treadmill at about 11:00 min pace. Once it was over, I spent the next 11:00 minutes on the floor questioning why I just did that. But…like most of you I thought to myself, “I wonder if I can do two miles?”

….And that my friends is where it began. Over a 15 years later, I have completed every distance all the way to the marathon.

I have a regular day job in Corporate America, but running, and being a student of the sport is my true passion. My goal is to share what I have learned along the way in hopes that it will help you become a better runner.
