Running Culture in 2025 – Run Clubs, Branding & the Vibe Shift (With Leggggs & Running Supply)


Listen Later

A look at running culture in 2025 with Will from Leggggs and Cole Townsend from Running Supply — two people deeply embedded in the style, media and community side of the sport.

We talk about:

  • The explosion of run clubs and how they’ve changed the sport
  • The rise of branded run clubs like the Satisfy LSD meet-ups
  • Style, identity and the shift toward “vibe” culture in running
  • Narcissism in running and the performance of social running
  • The growth of vibe-first running accounts with little or no substance
  • What’s healthy, what’s not, and where culture is heading next

A real conversation about where running is right now — the good, the strange, and everything in between.

📌 Weekly ultra-trail podcasts: races, athletes, culture, training and stories from the mountains.
