What happens when finishing isn’t guaranteed?
In this episode of the I Don’t Know Running Podcast, Mitch shares the story behind one of the hardest races of his life—the Jersey City Marathon.
On paper, it doesn’t stand out.
6 hours and 12 minutes. His slowest marathon ever.
But what led up to this race is what makes it different.
Over the last few years, Mitch has dealt with:
a herniated disc
heart monitoring and health scares
Achilles surgery
a stroke
and just days before the race… a bladder stone
He didn’t feel ready.
He didn’t think he could finish.
But he showed up anyway.
From last-minute travel chaos and questionable race-day decisions… to battling tunnel vision, exhaustion, and doubt in the final miles—this is a story about pushing forward when everything says stop.
And somehow… marathon #179 became one of the most meaningful finishes of his life.
🎧 Listen in as we break down:
the mental battle behind the race
what it actually feels like to hit the wall
why this finish meant more than any PR
and what comes next on the journey to all 50 states
If you’ve ever questioned whether you could keep going… this one’s for you.
