Then, we have a great conversation about leaning back into goal-driven running content instead of just lifestyle posts. Of course, Run Culture Court is in session to discuss drivers interacting with runners, and we settle the absolute wildest debate: is it sock-sock-shoe-shoe or sock-shoe-sock-shoe?
