Get Marathon Ready With MYB’s Thomas Nguyen

As a type 2 diabetic, Move Ya Brass's Thomas Nguyen started running to get his health under control. He began participating in fundraisers for a nonprofit in New Orleans where he learned to love the sport and the competition.

Four years later, Nguyen is gearing up for the Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon, is Move Ya Brass's running captain, became a certified coach through Road Runners Club of America and partnered with fellow MYBer Wilfredo Aguirre to form Lempira Delta Running Consultants.

With his second marathon drawing near, Nguyen shared his thoughts on running 26.2 miles.
