“The podcast producers found the story of my experience running with my dad since I was a kid – explained Coach Adolfo – and contacted me through my website. Everything happen very quickly, and, in a few days, Erin and producer Philippa Geering were interviewing me. It was an enjoyable conversation about running. I couldn’t be happier with the result.
“During the conversation, when we were talking about my experience starting to run with my dad in the mid-1970s, as a pre-teen, Erin requested we called him to join into the conversation, which he did.”

Thank you, Claudia. I appreciate you taking the time to listen to the show.
Very good interview, your insights and your father’s participation were amazing!
You also had the cool experience of running a marathon with your son. Treasure it.
Adolfo, what a beautiful story. Great interview! Your dad was as charming as he always is on a face to face chat. God bless him and the special bond you both have with RUNNING. Thank you for sharing the story with the world!
Thank you, Ivan. I really liked the final product. It came out as a very emotive story.
What a freaking awesome opportunity and podcast! I was almost in tears with your Dad talking. How cool 😎
I guess he has not officially hung up his sneakers, but Wings for Life is such a great race for such a great cause & the best virtual race out there. Cheering you both on!
Thank you, Rita. They did a beautiful job with the edit and the story came out really nice.
Nice interview. I know what training with your dad is like. I trainer with my dad for my first marathon. I was 29 and he was the age I am now, it was his last. We learned a lot of each other in the process. The memory of us embracing in tears at the finish line is one of the greatest in my life. You know the guy, we share the same dad
I am sure that not many dads must have had the opportunity to run marathons with two of his sons.
What level of interview Adolfo….. I know your passion for marathons… congratulations
Thank you. It has been a passion for the better part of my life, thank God!
Hi Adolfo. Congratulations for the interview! You are in a select group! Nice interview. I would like to tell you that, a long time ago your dad gave me some pieces of advice when I began to think about running. Afterwards I have finished nine marathons. Your dad has been an inspiration for me and running is always a topic when we chat.
Thank you, Alejandro, for your comments about my dad. I appreciate them very much.
❤️ it! Congratulations!!!
