The People Run Podcast
The People Run Podcast is about the lives behind the miles.
Hosted by Fitz Mayi, this show features real conversations with runners at every level from pros to parents, coaches to community builders about training, identity, discipline, setbacks, ambition, and what the sport gives back.
Every runner has their own world. This is where we step into it.

#37 He Thought Running Was Over… Then Started Again at 74 | David Krygier
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
David stopped running for years after back issues and thought that chapter was over.
At 74, he found his way back building a daily run streak and rediscovering something he thought he lost.
We talk about what that actually looks like, how he adapted his running, and why showing up every day changed more than just his fitness.
