Personal Trainer
Joey participated in the Boston Marathon in 2013 and 2014 and began preparing 2 months before the race. His training schedule included cross-training as well as doing long runs once a week. At the start, he would run for 10 miles and then incrementally extend it to around 20-22 miles. Joey would gradually start covering less distance 2 weeks before the actual event. He would also take ice baths to help his muscles recuperate faster after all the strenuous running. He completed the race in 3:57:06 and 3:48:11 in the 1st and 2nd attempts respectively.
Joey practices yoga daily and goes biking as often as possible. Additionally, he has also attended Barry’s Bootcamp to build his endurance and flaunted his resulting chiseled abs at The Main Event concert tour in 2015.
