I challenge people to use running to improve their life, not just their running life, all aspects of their life, because if you're a better person, it's going to reflect on everything you do.
Ever wondered how running can change a life? In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson reconnects with Bart Yasso, famously known as the Mayor of Running.

Bart joined Runner's World in 1987 and revolutionized the running community with the Runner's World Race Sponsorship Program, reaching millions of runners worldwide.
But his story doesn't stop there. Bart invented the Yasso 800s, a marathon-training schedule embraced by runners everywhere. His impressive resume includes completing races on all seven continents, winning national championships, and even cycling across the country solo. In this heartfelt conversation, Bart opens up about his struggles with addiction and how running became his lifeline. He talks about the power of support systems and the importance of acceptance and encouragement in recovery.
As a coach and mentor, Bart shares his emotional connection to his work and the joy he finds in inspiring others. Tune in to hear how running transformed Bart's life and how it can do the same for you.
