Description

After completing 30 half marathons in 30 days for my Make America Healthy Again Challenge, I'm sharing the four critical factors that have sustained me through one-fifth of my journey toward breaking a Guinness World Record.

• Overcoming initial doubts by praying for strength rather than continual confirmation
• Finding witnesses through social media ads and simply asking people for help
• Sleep is the #1 recovery tool—aiming for 8-9 hours nightly with supplements and optimized bedroom conditions
• Nutrition requires higher carb intake than expected—60-100g carbs per hour during runs
• Proper fueling includes pre-run oatmeal, timed gels during runs, and immediate post-run recovery mix
• Accountability through social media and witnesses creates motivation and responsibility
• Saying no to travel, late nights, and social events creates space for consistent training
• "Saying no to the good allows you to say yes to the best"
