“Lose weight or die,” Martinus Evans was told by his doctor.

He was so angry that he decided to run marathons, but without focusing on weight loss.

Along his movement journey, he started a movement of thousands with the Slow AF Running Club.

Evans’s story is one of dramatic accomplishment at any size, any speed, or any color. This is an exploration of a movement of back of the packers who are taking their rightful place on the race course working just as hard, if not harder, than anyone else.

Martinus and I talk about:

His story and why weight loss and marathon running don’t always go together,
How training has to be done differently for slower runners, and
How to find an accepting community of runners, no matter what your pace.

You can probably guess with a name like the Slow AF Running Club that the language in this conversation is going to get a little colorful. We’ve chosen not to censor out the cuss words to keep this authentic.
