This is a special episode for me. With a group of friends in April, I completed a running challenge called the Calendar Club.

I invited our group onto The Struggle is Real to discuss the challenge and lessons learned. We have lots of laughs throughout as everyone shares stories about their personal experiences.

This light-hearted episode is perfect for those looking to learn more about a fitness challenge that they could use to jumpstart their health journey.

Key Takeaways:

[3:27] Why each member wanted to do Calendar Club

[4:48] Discussion about our views on being a runner

[10:58] How we held themselves accountable throughout the month

[20:31] Overcoming long run days using mental fortitude

[32:08] Lessons learned by completing Calendar Club
