Episode #17 Iyob Tessema- "The Mystique of Ethiopian Distance Running." - a podcast by Ken Lubin

Iyob Tessema is a 55-year old Human Resources Professional with over 25 years of management experience, who comes to us from "the passion world." He is a competitive Marathoner, Seasoned Coach, Athletic Consultant, and astute Olympic Historian/motivational speaker who lives in Los Angeles, California. Approximately 25 years ago, he adopted long distance running & swimming as cross-training sports to complement his endurance in semi-pro soccer competitions. Gradually, his passion for long distance won over, and he transitioned into intensifying his Running career, going “from zero, to hero”and successfully running his first LA Marathon in 1995. Never looking back, he maintained his consistency. To date, he has run his “home town marathon” alone for 23 consecutive years, and adding all the other marathons he has completed, he currently stands at a grand total of 64 marathons.
