Justin Grunewald is a professional runner and physician, living in Boulder, CO. At the end of January, Justin posted about his experience giving up alcohol for a month and how it impacted his running and personal health. His post resonated with me and created a great opportunity to finally have Justin on the podcast. Topics covered:

Dry January
Justin's observation of alcoholism as a physician
How giving up alcohol impacted his training, relationships, and mood
The importance of moderation
The sponsorship landscape in trail running
Agents in pro trail running
Justin's training for Tarawera and goals for the season
A lot more!
