CNN and Runner’s World Join Forces

CNN’s senior medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta and Runner’s World Magazine editor in chief Willey met March 30 for CNN’s Fit Nation, part of Dr. Gupta’s and CNN’s nationwide university tour and initiative to encourage Americans to adopt healthier lifestyles and combat obesity. Held at Drexel University in Philadelphia, former president Bill Clinton spoke with Dr. Gupta and Drexel’s students about healthy eating as well as his own personal food cravings including French fries and Philly cheese steaks. Willey engaged audience members during a brainstorming session about things that could be done throughout the city to encourage a healthier, more active lifestyle – of course one that would include running. Quickly after the program, Willey headed out for his own burger and fries to Rouge, a local Philly restaurant but don’t worry – he had already burned off the calories during his morning run.
