Jonathan Darling lives in Knoxville, Tennessee. He’s a husband of nine years, a father to two daughters, a national account manager, and a fitness and leadership enthusiast. We talk with Jonathan about:

• Becoming a runner after a life-changing 24-hour challenge with retired Navy SEAL Thom Shea
• The difference between the bodybuilding and running communities
• His first race, a 50K ultra trail run, which he did not finish
• Development of self-belief and purpose, which for Jonathan is tied to his faith
• His love/hate relationship with running and his unique ability to be comfortable in discomfort
• The non-profit Depression2Extinction and the importance of sharing your story
