The People Run Podcast
My name is Fitz Mayi. I’m one of those people who believes you can do anything. Maybe I’m naive, but I’ve seen it in myself and in the incredible people I’ve met. That’s what this podcast is about.
I can’t do it for you but what I can do is inspire. Through wild stories, through experts in the field, and through runners who’ve done it and are doing it now. The road may be hard, but my aim is to shed light on stories of incredible people so you can believe it can be done, and show up for yourself.
Whether you’re working a full-time job, raising kids, chasing a new PR, dreaming of going pro, or building your own transformation this podcast is for you. This is The People Run Podcast: the stories of your incredible self.
