256. The Reality of Sponsorships in Running

In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we dive into the realities of sponsorships in professional running. While many imagine elite runners living off big brand deals, the truth is far less glamorous. Our guest today is Jereny Rivera - she is super fast and runs at the elite level. With her, we discuss the financial struggles of top marathoners, the impact of sponsorships (or lack/withdrawal of support ), and what needs to change to better support our fastest athletes. Tune in to learn how sponsorships shape the sport—and what it really takes to make a living as an elite runner!You can find Jereny on instagram as @lolspacemonkey We are now on YOUTUBE:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast Discount Codes for Runners: https://www.runswag.com·  Our website: ⁠www.marathonrunningpodcast.com⁠ ·  Our Instagram: ⁠@runningpodcast⁠·  Our Amazon Storefront: ⁠Amazon Storefront⁠·  Join our Facebook group: ⁠SpeedStriders Facebook Group⁠·  Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast Theme Song:––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Night Out by LiQWYD / liqwyd Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://www.audiolibrary.com.co/liqwyd/night-out Music promoted by Audio Library • Night Out – LiQWYD (No Copyright Music) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tut9O8uaJho&t=13s ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
