This Week’s Race Weekend Training Miles
Broadway Star Caesar Samayoa
Cesar shares how his path to performing arts started in a rather unexpected way. Growing up in a family that immigrated from Guatemala, theater wasn’t initially on his radar. It wasn’t until a teacher introduced him to live performances that he felt a spark. The moment he watched Peter Pan graced the stage, he felt destined to pursue a career in the arts. This revelation resonated within him, and his journey from that moment on has been nothing short of extraordinary.
As the conversation unfolds, listeners learn about the rigorous audition process that Broadway actors like Cesar encounter. Invited to audition for multiple shows, frontrunners navigate through intense processes that test their talent and resilience. Cesar details his experience with original roles and casting calls, emphasizing how determination plays a vital role in achieving success.
Transitioning to running, Cesar opens up about discovering the joy of running during the pandemic when he participated in virtual races. He explains how running has become an essential part of his life, providing clarity and focus amidst the demands of a busy schedule filled with performances and rehearsals.
Throughout the episode, the hosts and Cesar explore the link between fitness and performance art. Not only does training for races help improve vocal stamina and physical health, but finding time to integrate both acting and running can be challenging. Cesar discusses how vital proper nutrition and rest are to maintain balance, and how the Jeff Galloway method makes running accessible and enjoyable.
