There’s a saying – If you don’t know your history, then you are bound to repeat it.
While it’s a stretch, knowing and understanding other successful endurance athletes’ history might just prove to help you perform better in your life.
In this episode, we go into the archives and get to hear how Mike Trees got started in his 50-year endurance career (He just turned 60 years old and can still run a 17 min, 5k).
Listen on to find out how to train, race and live with purpose for as long as possible on this episode of Trees of DLake.
This is part one of a few, and we end it the episode right before he goes to University. If you’re feeling this we’ll be releasing more types of episodes in the future – let us know on Instagram or email talk@dlakecreates.com
