Winning isn't everything but it's certainly nice when it happens. For pro runners especially it can make a huge difference in sponsorship contracts, annual income and quality of life too. On today's episode of Just In Stride we get into a winning mindset with Elite Marathoner, CJ Albertson. Talking to CJ one thing was clear, he loves to run but also loves to win. Most recently he did just that at the California International Marathon in a staked field. His competitive nature is something he's had from a young age and he understands that to be the best you need to beat the best. Something he hopes to do at the upcoming Olympics Trials in Orlando next February.
