Heard about this gentleman on this week’s Road Dog Podcast
“So the main purpose of this is not to draw attention to myself, but to draw attention to encourage people to get out and move.”
Ron du Preez is a 73-year young man who is planning to walk 50k/day in 50 states in 50 days, with its mission, “to energize and empower everyone, especially those over 65, to engage in physical fitness in a fun and friendly way to foster health and well-being.”
In this episode, Ron chats with Luis about blue zones, moving your body as you get older, how he is funding his journey, why he is doing this challenge, how his faith factors into his life, how he overcame major injuries, what events he has coming up, and what organizations he is a part of.
Note, he’s walking these 50Ks, but he just went sub-4 hours at LA marathon (at age 73) so he is a Runner, plus any 50/50/50 is always worth mention
