Run Local had the pleasure of catching up with three-time U.S. 5k Champion, writer, entrepreneur and activist Lauren Fleshman. She is currently coaching a women's pro group for Oiselle called Littlewing Athletics, pushing the pace on nutrition with Picky Bars and stirring the pot whenever she encounters inequality. It was a big ol' reunion as J.T. and Josh have not caught up with Lauren in years. They discuss her coaching philosophy, her blue collar roots, and even entertain a surprise pro-athlete guest. Fleshman is also a Salomon sponsored athlete/coach.

Simon Freeman is a former pub loving, cigarette smoking London lad that changed his life through the sport of running. While the athlete journey took him to a 2:30'something marathon p.b., the real story is told through the stories he now tells. Simon and his wife Julie are the co-founders of Like the Wind magazine. This publication is running rag like no other. Bespoke art, printed on matte paper, stories of the spirit of running, and never thrown away. Simon joins Josh and J.T. on the Run Local podcast to share his journey, entertains everyone with a recount of an infamous interview with Lance Armstrong, and regales the audience with an overflowing goblet of British humour. That's humour with a U. And U... will love it. 

This week we'll be airing a special episode of the Run Local podcast. A few of our running industry friends at the Early Call Podcast invited our founder J.T. Service onto their podcast and dove into the history of Soul Focus Sports, Run Local and Silverback Pacific. The hosts try to figure out how J.T. has time to manage three companies, ask him for stories about his days representing professional athletes, and then they blindside him with a surprise guest. That surprise guest tells embarrassing stories about J.T., which admittingly isn't too difficult. We thought it would be fun to mix up the show and we'll be back into original content in the next episode. Check it out it's a pretty good listen.
