This episode is a LIVE recording from the NYC Marathon Expo, with special guest Martinus Evans, marathoner, motivational wellness speaker, author and founder of Slow AF Run Club. Evans sat down for a terrific conversation with cohosts Alison Mariella Désir and Verna NezBegay Volker.
This engaging and dynamic trio talked about Evans' running journey, creating the 40K+ strong Slow AF Run Club, how he’s dealt with criticism–both online and in person, and how he’s navigating being a new dad, and a lot more. It’s an inspiring, uplifting conversation, with some laughs along the way.
A huge thank you to our presenting sponsor Altra for making this conversation possible for us. And a huge thank you to New York Road Runners for making us a part of this incredible marathon weekend.
