Welcome to the Run Strong Run Podcast! Season 1 is "Stories from the Back of the Pack", and each episode features a conversation with an inspiring runner who often finishes marathons in the back of the pack. In this episode, Stephanie talks to Joseph Magnelli about how he went from non-runner to marathoner in 2023 while grieving the loss of his father! In Joseph's words, " I’ve always wanted to be able to run, but could never get past the mentality that running just flat out sucks... for the first time in my life I actually enjoy running and it makes me super happy to say that."
