“No matter what anyone else thinks about me running. I’m going to do this regardless.”
Tyrone Alomia remembers exactly when he started running in May 2011. He was working at the old Nike flagship in New York City, and his boss challenged him to run a four-mile New York Road Runners race around Central Park. Alomia was standing at 6 feet 2 inches and weighed 330 pounds at the time, and the race would be the first four miles he’d run in his entire life.. “At the time, I couldn’t even run a few blocks without stopping.
“Running is both the hardest and most rewarding thing you can do for yourself,” he says. “I came from a neighborhood where health and wellness isn’t the first priority on everyone’s list. But when I found running, I became better.”If you ask Alomia’s friends Jason Suarez, Hector Espinal, and Emmanuel Rodriguez how they feel about the sport, they’ll all express similar feelings. Finding running has made a major impact in their lives, too.
