Ep 42 - Benji Popokh

Josh sits down for a conversation with Benji Popokh. They discuss Benji’s origin story in running and how his love for running blossomed during his time at UT. He shares what went into co-creating the Southwestern Run Club and how they built the culture. Benji highlights some of the fun side-quests he has embarked upon through running, from a self-marathon of Nashville to the Griggs Park Ultra, to the 4x4x48, and finally to what’s next for him in his running journey. He shares highlights from these journeys as well as how doing what some would see as insane can help lead to inspiring others. They discuss how doing new things, or shaking up your routine can lead to increased appreciation for what you’ve completed, and ways to make your time more memorable. To close they discuss wisdom that they have learned from their fathers for this father’s day special. Have any topics you’d like us to discuss in future episodes? Share your thoughts at: [email protected] more 5Q5K? Follow the pod: https://www.instagram.com/5q5kpod/Follow Josh: https://www.instagram.com/josh.williams.44/
