Impossible Abs 2.0 Is Here

November 29, 2012 By Joel Runyon 4 Comments

It's here...again! After releasing Impossible Abs in August, we've had hundreds of people pick it up, put it into action and use it to lose a ton of of weight and change their lives. Here are a few of their stories... T lost 30 pounds in 8 weeks. I started on 27th September 2012. 3 weeks later I’d lost my first 10 kilos (22 pounds). The last 4 weeks I just lost a kilo a week (2.2 pounds/week). When I started I weighed 72kg and on week 8 I finished ...

How To Find Out Who You Really Are

November 26, 2012 By Joel Runyon 21 Comments

Last sunday I got to interview one of the most intense people I know – David Goggins. I first wrote about David about a year ago. If you don't know, David Goggins is a former 300 pound man turned ultra marathoner who's been deemed by some people as the "toughest athlete on the planet." He's done some ridiculous races including 100 milers, Badwater and a 200 mile race. David's changing up his usual ultra marathon racing with his attempt at a 24 hour world ...

Fight Like Hell

November 14, 2012 By Joel Runyon 19 Comments

Sometimes trying to help people is discouraging. Impossible Abs is a project we've been working on for a while. It's a tough fitness program - I don't try to hide that (It's called Impossible Abs after all). Because of that, some people have seen some incredible results (more stories coming soon). Anyways, I don't get a lot of refund requests, but they do happen. I understand for the most part and promptly refund things as part of my 100% guarantee, but ...

How To Get Started Running

November 8, 2012 By Joel Runyon 5 Comments

So you want to start running, huh? Well, that's a terrible idea that you're probably going to get addicted to and love to regret in the future. But, if you're up for it, here we go. Now, realize that it's going to take some time to start running. You probably won't decide to strip down to your boxers and run 30 miles after a few too many shots of tequila (unless you're Dean Karnazes that is - seriously, that's how he got started in running). But, ...

5 Lessons Learned From My First Ultra Marathon

November 2, 2012 By Joel Runyon 18 Comments

This weekend I ran the Chicago Ultra Marathon. I never thought I'd actually run an ultra marathon. I told myself after my first ever marathon that that was more than far enough and I was quite okay. Then I found out about ultras and they kept popping up in my mind. At the same time, I found an amazing organization to partner with, and pretty soon I was working in a coffee shop sitting next to Nicky when I looked up at him and said, "I think I just signed ...
