Ep.111: Fitz Koehler - The People Mover

The Runified Podcast is about telling stories that make runners who they are, beyond the training and racing. These stories will inspire, educate, and motivate runners of all abilities and help them achieve their goals. 
We will also share stories about the genesis of new products, events, or services that cater to runners. Our mission is to help runners run, together. Our hope is that these stories will change the way you think about running, and motivate you to live your own story with endurance, strength, and joy. This is what it means to be Runified.
