Episode #16 - The BarkKnight - Zach Barker of Maurten

What's Inside the Box? is back this week, with a very special guest in store - Zach Barker of Maurten.

Zach has called Reading, PA home for all of his life. He not only grew up in central PA, but now resides there with his wife and two dogs. Zach’s relationship with running started as a young and admittedly brash high school student athlete, before he ran track and cross country for Liberty University. Post college, he 4+ years working and managing a run specialty store in Pennsylvania before transitioning in his role with Maurten in 2021.

Not only is Zach a great advocate for the sport, but he’s an accomplished runner in his own right - with a marathon PR of 2:20:40.

We chat about what reignited his flame for running, his approach when it comes to long training sessions and races, the company and profession here cares about so deeply and much more. 

Enjoy.
