Today, running is much more than a way to compete. It's a place for community, a way to take care of your body & mind, and a form of self-expression.
Running crews were key in making running more accessible to anyone who didn't grow up running track & field.
Ben, photographer, director, and athlete is one of the founders of Melbourne-based AM:PM.
Founded 9 years ago, AM:PM is a second-wave running crew and they're still going strong.
That's why I thought Ben was the perfect guest to learn more about:
- The state of running culture
- How it grow into what it is today
- The role big brands play in this
- Where the running crews fit in
- Why running is still on the rise
Ben is a creative human being with a warm heart. It shines through in the care he has for the crew and the unique angles he explores in his creative work.
It made for a warm and insightful conversation.
Enjoy this one.
