When you finish an Ironman, I don't care what anybody says. That is the case, because you can't complete that without being a savage, without putting your body through the limits, without mentally, physically, there, there it's impossible to finish.
Imagine battling addiction for decades and then finding the strength to become an Ironman. That's Alan Blumenshein's story. At 27, Al first attempted sobriety. It took him 20 more years and multiple tries to finally quit drinking for good. But he didn't stop there. Al took on one of the toughest challenges in the sports world: becoming an Ironman. His first two attempts didn't pan out, but on his third try, he crossed the finish line.
In this episode of Staying Fit ODAAT, host Miguel Reyes sits down with Al to explore his incredible journey from addiction to athletic triumph. Al opens up about his struggles with alcohol and how fitness became his lifeline. He shares practical tips on staying sober, setting long-term goals, and using exercise as a powerful tool in recovery. Al's story is not just about physical endurance but also about the mental grit needed to overcome life's toughest battles.
Whether you're dealing with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for a dose of inspiration, this episode offers a compelling look at how determination and hard work can lead to extraordinary achievements.
