Join Kit and Allison as they discuss Kit's deep-rooted passion for running that began in a pioneering running family of the '70s.

Kit shares a fascinating journey through early childhood memories of marathon finish lines, high school wrestling leading to running, and college days running along Boston's Charles River.

Discover Kit's accomplishments, including running the Boston Marathon nine times and creating a vibrant and supportive running community in Mobile, Alabama.

Kit reflects on lessons learned, the significance of persistence, and the sheer joy of running in community.

Learn about Kit's minimalist running routine, preferred races, recovery tools, and inspiring stories of pacing an ultra-marathon friend through a grueling 50 miles.

This episode is an inspiring testament to finding solace, strength, and an unbreakable community through running.
