FOR US, RUNNING IS MORE THAN A SPORT
We believe running deserves more attention. Or why does running behind a ball inspire so many more crowds than without it? Why do football players from the third division get more attention from the press, TV and sponsors than our marathon stars? And the most important question of all: (How) can you change that?
In our podcast we discuss rumors, news and the lifestyle surrounding running and tell stories from and with professionals and runners from the community. A breath of fresh air for the running scene for more fans of running.
