I heard about Marcus from a friend and past podcast guest, Jeremy Harrison. I heard that Marcus was a good guy and a strong runner and that he was running the inaugural Outlaw 100. I added him on social media and we've had some great exchanges. I could tell that Marcus was a great guy. On the podcast, I finally got to actually talk to him and get to know him. Marcus is indeed a strong runner. He won the first Outlaw 100 and the first Outlaw 135 this past year. Like many of us, Marcus started running later in life, but fell in love with it. He's also a man of faith and I genuinely enjoyed our visit. You'll enjoy listening along!
