As we celebrate Global Running Day, we do so with an interview featuring Lionel Brahim Brodie III of The Original Propaganda Athletic Club. 

On this episode, Mike had the opportunity to learn about Brodie’s intro to running following a night at the bar where he challenged the bartender to a run the following morning. Despite his hopes that she would simply let it pass, he quickly learned how people in the running community held each other accountable as she came knocking on his door to wake him up for their run the next morning. While he felt like he wanted to faint, he didn’t die, and eventually he became hooked. 

Over the years, Brodie began to create spaces for others to begin their running journey, starting with the Villanova Run Club, then through the creation of @originalpropagandaathleticclub in 2015. 

So make sure you run over to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts to hear more about his story, OPAC, and how running has helped him when faced with difficult times over the years.
