Running on Empty: The Balancing Act of an Endurance Athlete Dad

Joel is a Endurance athlete who works for Yosemite National Park out in California. He used to way over 300lbs and one day decided he was sick of it. Through a long and obsessive journey Joel has ran several full iron man and ultra marathon events all while being a very present father. His rigorous schedule has him up early in the morning so that he can get his workouts in, make it to work and still have time to attend his kids sporting events and even inspiring and motivating them to pursue their athletics.
