The rise of themed races and fun runs
Gen Z’s influence on the future of running
Virtual races, social media, Strava art, and more!
Whether you grew up chasing finish lines or you’re just discovering the joy of running, this episode is full of fun stories, thoughtful reflection, and a few good laughs (as always).
