🔥 Jamil Coury vs. Kevin Russ – The Battle for Local Legend! 🔥

In this episode, I catch up with Jamil Coury and Kevin Russ—while they’re literally running back and forth on a 0.22-mile Chipotle Strava segment in Tempe, Arizona! These two endurance athletes have taken on the wildest challenge in sports right now: logging the most segments in January to win free Chipotle for a year. 🏆🌯
Jamil, the founder of Aravaipa Running, and Kevin, a thru-hiker, ultra-endurance athlete, and videographer, are putting in insane mileage—think 70-mile days on the same stretch of pavement—as they battle for the title. I interviewed them remotely while they were mid-run, giving you a raw, live look into their mental and physical grind.
🚀 What’s in this episode?
✔️ The Chipotle Local Legend challenge explained
✔️ Jamil’s daily grind of running + working + parenting
