Episode 8 - Mike Katz on Friends Bullying You Into Running

"I made up a plan which was run a distance, and then run a little bit more, and then run a little bit more...then run even more miles in a week."

Mike Katz was one of my first DC running friends upon moving back to the district in 2019, and I am lucky because he is a genuine and wonderful human. He is also a very smart scientist in DC! For this episode, we sat down in Logan Circle to discuss how Katz got into running (his friend, Laura, bullied him a lot), turning from a sitter to a mover, his running adventures with college pals turned post-college pals, Tatsu and Laura, his first Pacers group run in a polar vortex, dealing with injury (some sage advice at the end of this episode), training for long distance races, biking and walking around DC, and Katz's role as Skechers Ambassador!

Special thanks to Katz for testing out the new mic with me. And always-thanks to Dan Hoffman for the audio. I hope you enjoy and stay engaged with the pod! Good luck to everyone running the DC Half this weekend!
