REWRITING THE BOOK ON PLUS-SIZE RUNNING!

MARTINUS EVANS | @300POUNDSANDRUNNING

In a world where fat athletes are excluded from races, training, clothing, and all other forms of representation ... it just takes one crappy comment from a troll to piss someone like Martinus off enough to create his own size-inclusive world for plus-size runners!

Martinus Says...

"You need to have delusional self-belief. You have to believe in yourself so much, so hard that anybody else around you thinks you're crazy. "

 

Some of the highlights of our convo include, 

  • When the Doctor Tells You You're Too Fat So You Decide to Run a Marathon
  • When Run Coaches Won't Train Fat People So You Become a Run Coach Instead
  • When the Haters Spur You On To Create an Entire Brand Around Their Mean-Spirited Words
  • Why We Need to Learn to Do It Afraid and Do It Alone
  • When Everyone's Worst Nightmare Comes True: Falling Off the Treadmill
  • Why You Need Delusional Self-Belief


Meet the Martinus!

Martinus Evans has run over eight marathons since his doctor told him to “lose weight or die” in July 2012. Since then, he’s also coached hundreds of runners and founded the Slow AF Run Club, a community of over 10,000 members worldwide. He is also the author of the book Slow AF Run Club: The ultimate guide for anybody who wants to run who enjoys speaking passionately about issues related to size-inclusivity, mindset, DEI and mental health.
