BPP Show--Marcus Cook, and the Art of the Short Story

From almost 500 pounds and a total couch potato to a living example of how extreme health improvements are possible, Marcus Cook talks to us about his own journey of weight loss and athletic discovery and how he was supported by so many along the way.  In New York, Sunday, November 3, 2019, carrying a large placard of “Fat Marcus”, “Fit Marcus” will run 26.2 miles in the biggest marathon in the world.  He wants to share the message that “anything is possible” and each of us is capable of overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Elle Goodall

Elle Goodall and Marcus Cook are both age-group triathletes who competed in the 2018 Ironman World Championship at Kona, both having lost significant amounts of weight on their triathlon journeys.  Marcus crossed the finish line at Kona in the final hour before the race cutoff, with a cardboard cutout of himself at 500 pounds (he now weighs less than half that weight). Meanwhile, Elle fought bullying when she was big, and talks about her new life as person with fitness as a priority.

Episode 057- Marcus Cook- Big to Little

Marcus Cook lives by the quotes, "Do Something New Every Day" because "You Never Know What You're Preparing Yourself For."  Two years ago, inspired by the dying wish of a friend, then 500lb Marcus Cook made a drastic change. He knew if he didn't act quickly, he wouldn't be around to see his kids grow up and have families of their own. In September 2015, Cook had gastric bypass surgery with renowned bariatric surgeon, Dr. Garth Davis, in Houston, Texas.   And, less than two years later, Marcus crossed the finish line of his first full Ironman! How was this possible? Marcus credits two things throughout this conversation: 1) The people in his life that were willing to help him along the way 2) Taking small steps - literally. For Marcus, it was walking just 20 minutes a day. That's all he could do at first. Well, that 20 minutes daily walk turned into one mile, two miles, three miles and eventually led to triathlons, marathons and Ironmans - all in less than two years.  These days, Marcus travels the country and continues to chronicle his efforts at BigtoLittle.com and other social media channels.  Most recently, Marcus played the role of hero along with many other Houstonians who spent the days after the hurricane rescuing people in boats by the hundreds and feeding people by the thousands. He's quick to say that the "old Marcus" couldn't have done this. His story may center around going from "Big to Little," but to me, Marcus Cook has a heart of gold that's gone from "Big to Bigger."  This is his story.  Links for Marcus Cook: Facebook Instagram Website Theme Music: ”Aitech" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
