  • Side Hustle Episode 0: Introduction
    We all have a side hustle, whether it's working late at night on that book you've always wanted to write, maybe it's the next Silicon Valley unicorn, volunteering on the weekends or for many these days, full-time parenting. In the events world, the side hustle is the job itself, crossing sports and industries.
    For our operations staff at Run Local, they may be working a running event one weekend, but they may also find themselves in the middle of a motorcross arena event, a sailing event in the San Francisco Bay or a corporate conference.

  • Live Special: Meb Keflezighi on Running to Overcome

    Known and beloved by the running community as Marathon Meb, he is an Olympic silver medalist, Boston Marathon, and New York Marathon Champion. However, those on-road performances simply scratch the surface of Meb’s impact on runners, the communities he is a part of and of course his family.

    Run Local Pod hosts J.T. Service (Run Local Founder) and Josh Muxen (the voice of Run Local) sit down with Marathon Meb to discuss how Running plays such an important role in overcoming life’s challenges.

    As someone who attends running events across the country, Meb misses not being able to spend time with fellow runners during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Silicon Valley Half Marathon, which Meb helped co-found, has quickly become a favorite occasion on his annual calendar. Therefore, this virtual conversation will be an opportunity for Meb and runners from Silicon Valley and beyond to come together and offer support and encouragement to each other at this difficult time.

    Thank you to our Run Local Pod Live event partners Excite Credit Union, which is offering great support to our local Silicon Valley community as well as Sports Basement where you can save big.

    We’d also like to thank our charity partner, Silicon Valley Education Foundation, as they continue to support teachers and students in our community. SVEF is providing at-home learning packets for students that lack reliable internet access and delivering teacher professional development online to support educators in the move to distance learning. We encourage you to learn more about their Support Our Students campaign and consider a gift. You can learn more by visiting the SVEF website or their campaign webpage to see how you can help.

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.
