In S2Ep16 of the PRP, Adam symposiums with enthusiastic community builder, budding long distance runner, executive music producer, Lululemon ambassador, co-founder of WeRun313 and proud father of two Joe Robinson who has been preparing for the Chicago Marathon on October 9th, 2022. Joe gets vulnerable as he reflects on how transformative running has been for him over the past few years. As a Detroit native, Joe helps paint the picture of what it was like to grow up in the 313, an environment that didn't provide him with a lot of options for physical activity and certainly not an environment that encouraged running. 

Lance Woods, emerging long distance runner, community builder extraordinaire, Asics ambassador and co-founder of WeRun313 joins the show as guest host to offer his tranquil insight on the powerful role running plays in his life. He then provides a stoic lesson about the role running can play in all of our lives if we choose to handle our relationship with the sport in a virtuous way. Lance shares the fortuitous tale how the two met one another and sheds more light on the genesis of WeRun313, Detroit's Premier Running Club

The lads then deep dive on what it means to utilize running as a well for wellness, and share why they are so passionate about helping others in their community discover the benefits they've uncovered below the surface level of the sport. Their authentic work in and around Detroit has quickly & organically become bigger than them both individually, and is now a living, breathing movement with a pulse of it's own. For Joe & Lance, it's simple; all roads lead to WeRun313, a running club that has the unique combination of community, mentorship, speed and of course, the ability to turn up, show out and celebrate like no other! 

What is Trivium Racing and why is this organization so key to WeRun 313's success?! What can you learn from the san scrit word dharma? Oh shit, we talking Big Sean?! Ummm, Lance you at a pool with a private saxophonist? Is Pusha T loving’ it? What on earth is a running transmission? What is Bodhicitta and why is now the best possible time for you to become familiar with it? What is your intuitive heart and how can we all leverage stillness when seeking guidance throughout the journey of life? Leviticus?! Hypnotherapy? Mike Tyson?! All of this, and more than can even be explained in this ground shatteringly uplifting and inspiring episode of the PRP.
