Wellness Wednesday: Marathon Man, Fit Pregnancy, Saturated Facts

11 am

Bumper stickers reading "26.2" are a common sight these days. But it's not often you'll see one that says "1572." That's the number of miles in 60 marathons, and this hour we'll talk to a man who ran all those miles and more. Then we'll challenge what you thought you know about exercise during pregnancy, and learn the history behind the country's war on saturated fat.

Guests

  • Bill Rodgers, record-holding marathoner, author of Marathon Man
  • Linda May, Asst Professor, Foundation Sciences and Research- East Carolina University
  • Jonathan Schaffir, OB/GYN at Wexner Medical Center
  • Nina Teicholz, journalist, author of: “The Big Fat Surprise

Event Friday, June 20 at 7 pm, marathoner Bill Rodgers will give a free community presentation at Martha Morehouse Medical Pavillion
