Robert Jackson: Put Your Goals Out There - R4R 407

Many people attempt to qualify for the Boston Marathon for years before they succeed, and many more never achieve that goal.  Robert Jackson BQ’d with his first marathon, and this year he not only ran the iconic race for the third time, but was one of the panelists on a Black Unicorn live podcast at the Expo. Now he has his sights set on the 2028 Olympic Trials, but that’s not the only challenge he’s taking on; he’s also determined to overcome an eating disorder.
