Athlete Interview: How Tanner Overcame Injury To Run His First Marathon

  • Summary

  • In this first athlete interview episode of the Assemble Performance Podcast, I sit down with one of my athletes, Tanner Clark. We've been working together since July, and in just four months, Tanner has completed his first marathon, crushed his goal by 12 minutes, added 20 pounds to his back squat, and hit his previous deadlift PR for a set of three. Tanner shares his journey, from an unstructured fitness regimen to overcoming a knee injury and excelling in both running and strength training. He also discusses the importance of consistency, the mental shift required for training success, and the value of coaching in achieving and surpassing fitness goals. Join us as Tanner offers insights and experiences that could inspire your own athletic journey.
