4 years ago Corry Smith weighed over 300 pounds but recently he ran his first half marathon and has the medal to prove it!
About 3 years ago Corry just got fed up with his weight and decided something had to change. He started making changes but then hit a wall. That’s when he started working with the Apple program. With the help of his apple coach he was able to set some tangible goals and make the changes necessary to start seeing results again. Since then he has been hitting the gym 5 days a week and is nearing his goal weight of 240 pounds.
Corry attributes 2 major things to his success. Accountability: Setting goals and knowing that he had to report to his Apple Health Coach® really helped keep him on track. And Information, Corry says he was doing some things right but his coach really helped by providing him with the right information to continue moving him closer to his goals.
A few months ago Corry decided to step it up and start training for a half marathon. On June 13th he completed that goal. His wife completed the race as well. She came in with a faster time, but that’s just a little healthy competition! By the end of the half marathon, he decided he was ready for the full 26.2 miles. He is now jogging around 40 miles a week and will run his first marathon in Huntington, UT on September 12th.
He and his wife now have something to train for together and will be completing another half marathon together in October. Corry says he is hooked and sees many more races in their future.
Although Corry says he is not quite his ideal weight yet, he says, “I have never felt better.” His blood pressure is now in the normal range and he feels like he is in the best shape of his life.
“I was doing some of the right things, but the Apple program helped take me to the next level.”
