About Run Local Pod

From the publisher's feed

Run Local is a lifestyle. Our roots extend deep into the soil of the running culture with a lifetime in training, competition and producing endurance events. However, this expanded to an ethos and mission of using movement as a vehicle for community improvement. We believe in the power of local. Taking care of yourself, your family and your team. Looking after your neighborhood, your community, and your city. We find value in the pride and prejudice of supporting the pillars in your periphery. You know what it needs and you know your worth. Run Local is about making sure the kids on your block are staying safe and that you’re supporting that mom and pop coffee shop. Both and always. Together Run Local is a fabric of threads combining story and optimism and hard work and celebration.
