Jesse Itzler on Finding Running Communities, The Power of Walking, and Improving Your Life With Running

Running isn’t about just running; it’s about creating memories with amazing people. It’s about becoming a better family member. And it’s about challenging yourself to be the best version of yourself.

Jesse Itzler knows all about those things. Being a serial entrepreneur, part-owner of the Atlanta Hawks, endurance athlete, family man, and founder of All Day Running Co, he has created his life in the way he wants to.

Running has played a huge part in that for Jesse. He’s been running for over three decades, including 100 milers, last man standing races, marathons, triathlons, and so many other accolades. 

And along the way, he’s learned lessons that have greatly impacted the way he is.

In this episode, we discuss how Jesse took those experiences to create the running event of the year: Runningman 2024. We also chat about why Jesse finds walking to be so powerful, how he finds endurance events, and what he does to find the people in his life who inspire him and make him better.

Huge thank you to Jesse for coming on the show!
