In a cluttered world of boutique fitness studios and high-end gear, Guillermo PiΓ±eda Morales reminds us that we donβt need much to be our best. In the Video Op-Ed above, we trail Guillermo PiΓ±eda Morales, a.k.a. Memo. He clocked a 2:28:42 at this yearβs Boston Marathon, placing him in the top 10 marathon runners for his age group globally. Thatβs very fast. The American fitness industry is worth $30 billion, but Memoβs not in on the trend. He wonβt pop up in your Instagram #fitspo feed and you wonβt get a glimpse of him at your gym. But if youβre at the New York City Marathon this Sunday β or if you have a resolution to run a marathon next year β Memo is likely to be whizzing past you. Whatβs Memoβs trick? Well, you can find that in the video. But itβs far simpler and cheaper than anything else out there.
