E61 | Shoes, Safety, And The Joy Of The Run With Mike Duffy

·55 min·1 clip

Iron sharpens iron—running with people faster than you, training partners who push you, makes the difference between finishing and actually reaching your goals.

A relaxed lifestyle interview with Mike Duffy, a radio DJ and program director who juggles on-air work with a serious commitment to running and music. The conversation covers his transition from terrible high school athlete to dedicated adult runner, his guitar collecting passion, and his work at Valley Running Company doing gait analysis. The episode emphasizes the value of running communities, proper shoe fitting, and balancing multiple pursuits.
