Derrick Williams is known in our community as someone who always celebrates people's accomplishments on social media.
Derrick started running during the pandemic running in his backyard to music. The transition from football to running was different for Derrick in terms of stretching, mentality, and being a solo sport.
The two highlighted the supportive and sharing nature of the running community and how runners are always willing to try new gear and share their experiences with others.
In addition to running, Derrick also cross-trains at the gym and focuses on strength training with his background in football, which has influenced his strength training regimen, which he has been following for over 20 years. Derrick believes in the importance of strength training for runners and how it contributes to longevity in the sport. He values the running community and finds it to be supportive and encouraging, making the journey more fun and enjoyable.
When it comes to running, Derrick doesn't have a specific mantra but just tells himself to keep going when things get tough. He has adopted the phrase "Go the extra mile. It's never crowded," as a way to push himself in all areas of life.
