Today, October 21, is the official launch date of the Coaches of Color Initiative (COCI), a program created by the 80/20 Endurance Foundation to improve diversity in endurance sports. To mark the occasion, we’re releasing a special episode of the 80/20 Endurance podcast featuring COCI’s co-director, Bertrand Newson. Just a few short years ago, Bertrand was a hotel executive and beer league softball player who had never run farther than a mile. Today he is a veteran of more than 300 timed running events, a certified running coach, and head of one of the largest and most diverse running clubs in the US. And he’s on a mission to help other people of color make their own endurance dreams come true through the Coaches of Color Initiative. This one’s a true must-listen, folks!
