And the full video version of my pod with Amanda Vestri in my new studio is now live! I think this was a top 5 all time @forthelrpod episode. Lots of solid nuggets, inspiration, and CARB TALK. @mountainroche @a_vestri @brooksrunning youtu.be/RtC_DyVTCnc?si=9PP-…

First pod in the new studio: ✅ Amanda has been living here for an altitude camp since early August, so I’ve had a front row seat to what it takes to perform at the highest level. Excited to share this on @ForTheLRPod here soon!

A running store can be a place that sells shoes. Or it can be the thing that holds a running community together. @SFRunCo is now a @longrunlabs partner, and the part I care about has almost nothing to do with the podcast. My good friend @vivekgowri took over the shop and has been building it around the runners who make the Bay Area run scene special: the community, events, and advice from people who are doing the damn thing too. Look at how they’re doing events 👇 💰 A women’s prize purse worth racing for 👶 Childcare grants so parents can get to the start line 🤝 Deferrals that treat runners like people when life happens 🏕️ Showing up for the community before, during, and after race day, not just for 3 hours on a Saturday 🏃‍♀️ A focus on representation and helping *everyone* feel comfortable getting out there and seeing themselves on the starting line That’s what a store can be when someone actually cares how it feels to run in this sport. Next one up: the Women’s Trail Half Marathon in the Marin Headlands on October 24. And if you’re on the industry side: brands with something unique that isn’t in big box retail should talk to SFRC about wholesale, West Coast event partners should look at their calendar, and podcasters should get Vivek on the mic. He’ll tell you exactly why he’s building it this way. In the meantime, you’ll be hearing more from him on @longrunlabs soon! He’s become a regular on that + @forthelrpod and will continue to be. SFRun.co also has an online shopping experience that we’ll be working on improving too. Check it out! TLDR: I wanna do cool shit with my friends. Stoked on this. Grateful people like Vivek exist. The running community is and will continue to be better because of people like him. 🚀🚀🚀

Interestingly, and while the total volume is low, ~15% of my new subscribers from this summer are paid subscribers. If you've been following along with @forthelrpod and want to kick things up a notch for $8/month or $80/year: forthelong.run/subscribe Cheaper then Netflix, and I'll bet you get more value out of the pod!!
