Because if you're running with terrible form, you're like wasting a lot of energy.

Mario started coaching me.

Once I got to 233 completely on my own without knowing what I was doing, I hired Mario and he helped me get from 233 to 228 in one 12-week cycle.

He just gave me structured, very detailed, specific workouts.

Whereas when I was training myself, I would just run 10 miles every day.

If I felt good, I'd run as fast as I could.

And then I'd run one long run every week.

With Mario, I would do like two workouts a week.

The long run would be very structured.

Every mile would be defined.

And it was hard, man.

I did this workout one time, a 20 mile workout in Philly.

Cause when I had the podcast with Teddy Alice at one point, him and I trained a guy called Alex Vosdick, who was the WBC light heavyweight champion of the world boxing.

And Teddy is a famous trainer.

He trained multiple world champions and he asked me to be the assistant trainer.

And we lived in Philly for eight weeks in a training camp, like, like Rocky shit.

Like we were a lot, we were just in this condo,

we had three condos in this apartment building and we didn't leave.

I didn't see my kids.

We didn't do anything.
