Ben Reisinger – From 375 lbs to a 2:52 Marathon

In 2015, Ben Reisinger weighed 375 pounds and was living a very unhealthy and unenjoyable life. When he decided it was time for a change, he started observing how fit people lived their life: how they ate, how they exercised, what choices they made throughout their day. And then, on April 1st, he jumped in and began his journey. First, he started by learning to enjoy his food. Then, he began taking kickboxing classes, and finally, he discovered his love of running. Ben’s story is absolutely incredible. He shares what life looked like for him at 375 pounds and how he was able to transform his mind and his body into the talented athlete he is today. His determination and ability to endure has paid off; Ben has his sights set on some incredible goals this year, namely a BQ at the Chicago Marathon in October where he’ll need to run a Sub-3-hour marathon in order to qualify for his age group. Based on his training, he believes he can do it. No matter where you are on your fitness journey, Ben’s words are challenging and important for everyone to hear.
