Tune into this week’s episode as Rob and Becs are joined by Slow AF Run Club founder Martinus Evans—an author, advocate, and someone who's made the sport of running so much more inclusive. Back in 2012 while working 10-12 hours a day at a sales job, he hurt his hip and went to his doctor for a checkup. The doctor told him he was fat and needed to lose weight. Martinus told the doctor he was going to run a marathon—and a year later, he did. Martinus is one of the featured runners in a new film produced by New York Road Runners and Tribeca Productions, which is premiering at this year's Tribeca Festival on June 12. Hear Martinus, now a new father, talk about how running and fatherhood have a few things in common: small wins along the way with a lot of bumps and obstacles too. Ultimately though, the goal is to get the baby across the finish line.
