Running isn't just a sport; it's a canvas for creativity and individuality. Join us for an invigorating conversation with Kyle Richardson, an athlete renowned for his FKTs yet equally passionate about the art of running. In this episode, Kyle dives deep into his unique journey from Texas to Boulder, where his early love for running, music, and the outdoors shaped his multifaceted identity as an athlete. 

We delve into Kyle's thoughts on the evolving landscape of athlete sponsorships, the pressures they create, and what it means to remain authentic in a world driven by competition and brand expectations. Kyle’s candid reflections on injuries illuminate the delicate balance between ambition and self-care, providing listeners with valuable insights on resilience.

Tune in as we explore the concept of “rhythm and motion” in running, where Kyle reveals how honing a unique perspective can transform a run into a deeply personal experience. With aspirations of undertaking solo adventures and rekindling a love for the freedom of the outdoors, Kyle invites you to rethink your own relationship with running.

If you’re ready to challenge societal norms and embrace your individuality, then this episode is for you! Join us in discovering how art, passion, and authenticity can inform our journeys, both in running and beyond. Don’t forget to subscribe and share your thoughts with us!
