In this conversation we chat to local running legend, coach and founder of MustLoveHills RunCrew, Michael Obery.

Mikey has a larger-than-life infectious energy about him and a deep rooted sense of community which has been instrumental in helping him establish one of the coolest Cape Town-based run clubs to emerge from the 'social' running scene, which has swept the country by storm.

Through his reputation as a talented runner, coach, and his work with top brands such as ASICS, where he is a Frontrunner, he has contributed to the growth of the sport and created a space of belonging for all who share in the passion for lacing up and hitting the streets - especially those who love sending it up a hill or around an oval track (more about Community Track Club in episodes to come)...

Today we chat to him about:

• How his running journey started and where it has lead.
• His coaching philosophy and passion for helping others achieve their potential.
• The social running crew scene.
• The details of hill training and why all runners MustLoveHills.

A lekker episode, with one of SA's lekkerste runners brought to you straight from the Mother City.

Enjoy!
