In this episode of Sportly, host Kavitha Davidson dives into the surprising history of running, from ancient messengers and Olympic legends to modern-day run clubs that double as dating mixers. Kavitha unpacks how running got its glow-up, why it's become a status symbol, and who still gets left out of the picture.
