In this episode of the Route 66 Marathon Podcast, we sit down with Travis McCullar, a guy who stared down the scale at 380 pounds and ran his way into a completely different life.

Through shutdowns, setbacks and shoeless marathons, Travis never quit. He kept showing up, and that consistency paid off with more than 200 pounds lost, 40+ mile training weeks and a heart for pacing others to the finish line.

Travis talks about what sparked the journey, how running became his lifeline and why helping others now fuels his fire. If you’re looking for motivation, grit or just a reminder that it is not too late to change — this episode is it.

Plus, you’ll hear about his favorite races, what keeps him grounded and the story behind his Instagram name: @whatkeepsmerunning.
