Ep.15 - Racing through Life - Tom Wake

Welcome to the fifteenth episode of Racing through Life. This is a podcast hosted by OpenRace co-founders Matthew Cianci & Christian Camarata. OpenRace is a real-time virtual running app striving to connect and motivate runners, as well as help event organizers increase revenue, reach a larger audience and provide a more interactive virtual race. We found that not many people are showcasing this great and very connected running community, so OpenRace wants to amplify that exposure and show the lives of different runners and people within the running community both on and off the track.            

Tom Wake started running in 2008 in an attempt to get fit and lose weight. Fast forward a couple of years and in 2010 he ran the Great North Run after successfully getting a place in the ballot. Eight years later, he's improved his half marathon time by 38 minutes to 01:21:10 and completed over 25 marathons and ultras clocking up to distances including 100km and 100 miles.
