My guest today 64 Year old Ultra Runner Rick Martin. Yes you read that correct 64 year old Ultra runner and that’s not the only amazing thing, at 50 years old Rick was diagnosed with 60%-80% blockage in both arteries. A subsequent nuclear stress test indicated blockage in his heart. 
Facing a lifetime of prescription drugs and the possibility of requiring the same surgery his father underwent at age 80, Rick decided to perform his own research for alternative solutions to his health problems. Based on books and studies, he made radical changes to his diet, started attending yoga classes, and joined a hiking club. Within a year, he lost 35 pounds and defied the odds to reverse the blockage reflected on the initial medical tests. 
From here on in the Sky was the limit for Rick, he shares his stories from his hiking, to road running and trails, from Marathons to Ultras! 
Rick is a true inspiration to us all and is living proof that it’s never too late to make a change.
