About this episode
Max has played basketball most of his life and has always been a good ball handler. At the same time, he is a strong miler, training with the Hartbeat Track Club ( https://www.hartbeattc.org/ ). When you combine his two super powers, you have an opportunity for a unique World Record - Mile While Dribbling a Basketball – 4:30.38!! His brother noticed that the record was in reach and challenged him to make the record breaking attempt. With friends and family ( https://bit.ly/3r7wXeo ) pacing, recording, and timing him, Max broke Dylan Sorenson’s record by 3.35 seconds. Max’s running story is more about determination and overcoming adversity than it is about his word record. Max talks to us about what inspires him to run, health challenges he has had to overcome, and motivates us to persevere in our own running.
