Ben Roberts - "Punch that hill in the face!"

Run Your Story Podcast

In this episode, Ben Roberts recounts his journey into running, highlighting how it began with casual 5Ks and evolved into a meaningful personal and communal experience.
From childhood memories of running only when chased, Ben describes how the influence of an inspirational boss and the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic reignited his passion for running. The tragic loss of his uncle further strengthened his commitment, turning running into a therapeutic outlet.
Ben shares the supportive and family-like atmosphere of the running community, talks about his involvement with the F3 Nation workout group, and outlines his routines and preferences for races.
Filled with humor, personal reflections, and practical insights, Ben’s story is a testament to the power of persistence, community support, and honoring loved ones through the journey of running.
