Just wanted to share a quick appearance by me on the Man Bun Run Podcast. Rylee McDermott shot me an email last week about coming on his show. He is a big fan of the site so I decided to take a couple minutes to chat with him about how CITIUS MAG came to be and the approach behind how we cover running.
We’re just a couple running geeks having fun and trying to tell fun, relatable and interesting stories.
Enjoy the show.
