From unhealthy to elite athlete – Steve Way

You’ve just got to read this story!

Extract from the article in The Guardian of the UK.
“”He (Steve Way) quit smoking and fast-food and began jogging, and before long was following a 24-week plan from the book Advanced Marathoning. He aimed to break three hours at the 2008 London Marathon. Instead he ran it in 2:35. “I came 100th and the concept of finishing in the top 100 was just awesome,” he says. “So at that point I joined an athletics club and started to take it more seriously.””
