What happens when you trade your desk for a dusty running track on the other side of the world?
This month, host Laura Briggs sits down with award-winning author and journalist Adharanand Finn (Running with the Kenyans, The Way of the Runner, The Rise of the Ultra Runners) to explore the terrifying, hilarious, and deeply transformative reality of a life lived on the run.
Adharanand opens up about his early roots in environmental journalism, the sheer panic of moving his entire family to Iten, Kenya, and the claustrophobic comedy of hauling three young children across the Trans-Siberian Express to research running culture in Japan. Plus, he reveals how he accidentally stumbled headfirst into the exploding world of endurance running.
This is a story about creative leaps of faith, family survival, and the beautiful human connections forged through sweat and open roads.
