Hi my name is Matt Bogart and a couple of weeks ago I decided it would be a good idea to run a marathon next year. I am not in shape, and I hate running, but I want to know if it is possible to transform for out of shape human to someone who can survive a 26.2 mile jog. This podcast is going to document my marathon training, personal perseverance, and include the people in my life who help or hurt me along the way. From Wonder Wheel Media in New York, this is Marathon Man, one man's humble journey to run a marathon in one year.
