☀️On the off-chance you haven’t seen him running around Boston, you’ve definitely seen him on social media. This week, we had the pleasure of chatting with Alex “Herm” Hermanson, known on socials as @herm.runs, for a philosophical yet fun discussion about perspectives, motivation, goal-setting, and community.

🌆How do you tap into the communities around the activities you love?

🙂‍↕️How do you learn to disregard social norms and do what you want?

👟Seriously, what’s the hype with the Adidas EVO SL?

Be sure to check Herm out online and enjoy an interview that will leave you wanting to lace up, take off your shirt, and go rip a marathon.
