Yes, I have been training seriously and regularly entering races for many years. Yes, I just ran an elite masters marathon time. But I am no runner.
Yes, I am friends with many prominent professional runners and running influencers and have featured Cole Hocker, Connor Mantz, Des Linden, Courtney Dauwalter, Shelby Houlihan, Matt Centrowitz, Ben Blankenship, Rachel Entrekin, Jeff Browning, and Alexi Pappas on my podcast within the last couple years. And I spoke at a "strength for runners seminar" with Nick Symmonds just last year. But I am no runner.
Yes, from the very start of my influencing career, I have built my personal brand (TM) around hunting AND running. Yes, I constantly post/talk about running to my large social media following. Yes, I sell running-related merch and posted an advertisement for my branded running shorts ("Built for those who don't believe in shortcuts") the day after my massive, late-in-life marathon PR. But I stand to gain nothing financially from running, as I am no runner.
