This week on Where the Beach Gets Fit, I’m joined by John Malbon, a local running enthusiast who’s turned his life around through the power of consistency, discipline, and community.

He has battled ups and downs but has found his stride by showing up for himself. Through running and the support of the North End Run Club, John demonstrates how showing up every day can lead to monumental personal growth.

In this episode, we talk about the role of fitness as a metaphor for life, the importance of community in achieving goals, and the transformational power of discipline and sobriety. You’ll also hear practical tips on staying motivated and building consistency in your routine.
