Today’s guest, Erika Kemp, a professional marathoner for Brooks, joins us to discuss how the places we live and train shape performance. We explore the unique challenges and choices distance runners face when balancing physical gains with the emotional, social, and cultural dimensions of their environment.
Through our conversation, we consider how an athlete’s sense of “home” evolves, and both the sacrifices and joys of adapting to different environments. This chat takes on added significance as we think about Los Angeles.
We share gratitude for the people who make the places we visit and adopt feel like home, honoring the spirit of community and connection that endures.
Stay safe, L.A.❤️
