Synopsis

My guest today is a running friend of mine in Miami.  Miami is a city famous for its large and vibrant international community and our very close proximity to Cuba. I found out about this story when somebody posted a photo of Alexis Garcia in a kayak. It’s an amazing story and one that I’m happy to be able to share with you today.  Alexis and I discuss how he traveled from Cuba to the United States.  We talk about his start in running. We discuss how he moved up to distance running and ultra marathons.  We chat about how he got the idea to go back to Cuba and run across Cuba.  I interview Alexis in this podcast but you will hear him speak often of his wife Marlene who is a big part of his story of running across Cuba.  We also talk about what big goals and challenges Alexis Garcia has coming up.  After listening to this interview it is almost definite that you will want to see the movie they created about his run across Cuba. It is named Run Across Cuba. Please reach out to them at runacrosscuba.com and they
