💭 “Champions assemble!”

Rory Petzer isn’t just funny—he’s thoughtful, real, and surprisingly honest about what running means to him.

In this first episode of our new series The People I Meet, Rory—comedian, radio host, and self-proclaimed non-runner—shares how running became his anchor during tough times, why the running community feels like family, and what it means to celebrate the small wins.

This isn’t a how-to. It’s a why-we-do-it. A reminder that every runner, no matter how fast or far, is a champion in their own way.

What you’ll take away from this episode:
✅ Why you don’t need a “serious” reason to start running 🏃
✅ The joy of finding humour in hardship—and on the hills 😅
✅ Why every runner is a champion (yes, even you) 🏆
✅ How community shows up, one small gesture at a time 🤝
✅ What happens when you stop waiting to be fast—and just run 🚀
