In this episode, we sit down with Jay, runner, coach, and one of the driving forces behind Riot Runners, to talk about the miles that shape us and the communities that hold us down. From unexpected self-discoveries on the road to building one of the most inclusive and empowering running crews around, Jay shares it all: the highs, the heartbreaks, and the hustle.
We dig into training rhythms, coaching philosophies, and what it really takes to make every runner, from seasoned vets to first-timers, feel like they belong. Jay also opens up about race-day mantras, recovery rituals, and the power of running as resistance.
✨ Expect stories, laughs, wisdom, and the kind of vibe that makes you want to lace up and run through a wall (or at least your neighbourhood).
