Episode Notes

What does it take to lead a crew of hundreds? In this episode, we go inside Adidas Runners Berlin (@runnersberlin) with captains Fer and Lynn—two of the most recognizable faces in the city’s running scene.

They talk leadership, burnout, brand politics, and rebuilding community after the pandemic. We dive into what it truly means to create a safe space when everyone’s watching—and how to hold that line when it counts.

Plus: comebacks, race-day pressure, the problem with chasing PBs, and why the track is the most democratic place in Berlin.

This is leadership with spikes on. No fluff. All heart.
