Summary

This was some of the most fun I’ve had recording an episode of Hurdle. This week, I’m sitting down with Brendan Dunne, a Deputy Editor at Complex, co-host of the wildly popular weekly talk show Full Size Run, and a good friend of mine. In episode 84, he tells me how he managed to make a career creating content about sneakers (he’s got 60 pairs alone at his desk, nevertheless his Brooklyn apartment). We also chat about the circumstances that inspired him to lace up and become a runner, and how falling in love with the sport changed his life for the better. Recently adding “marathoner “ to his resume, Dunne shares with me his biggest takeaways from his first 26.2 as well as why he’s super proud of his race despite it not going as planned. And no, this episode is NOT sponsored by Nike, but it’s safe to say he mentions the Swoosh at least 20 times throughout our session.
