This episode is sponsored by Janji. As a local to Boston running apparel company, I’ve enjoyed seeing Janji grow over the years and their gear has only gotten better as time has gone on. 

As the weather gets cooler in much of the country, upgrade your gear with some of the amazing options from Janji! I’ve been loving their tights and raincoat in colder or wet weather lately!
