Slow AF Run Club Founder Aims to Democratize Running
Martinus Evans, founder of Slow AF Run Club, is on a mission to make running more inclusive for everyone, regardless of size, pace, fitness level, or skin color. His new book, "Slow AF Run Club: The Ultimate Guide for Anyone Who Wants to Run," encourages back-of-the-pack runners to lace up and join the community. The club, which exists primarily on an app, has over 10,000 members worldwide and is a judgment-free zone where weight and weight loss cannot be discussed. Evans advises runners to focus on the joy of the sport over weight loss and to adopt a mindset that they can run, despite societal pressures.
