The April 2008 of Runners World featured an inspiring story on an obese principal who turned into a fit 48 year old marathon runner. To read the entire story, click HERE.
In the physical magazine, his ‘before’ photo is featured and it is totally different from the ‘after’ photo.
Before:
- Weight= 397 pounds
- Cholesterol= 440
- Blood pressure= 220/110
- On medication for hypertension, high cholesterol and anxiety. He also had to sleep with an oxygen mask supplying 2 litres of oxygen to avoid sleep apnea
Started with walking round the track in the mornings, and later, with the doctor’s approval, he gradually began jogging. He also ate better food (instead of fast or processed food). He dropped his weight AND he is NO LONGER on any medication as the hypertension, high cholesterol are all gone.
