The '2 Black Runners' Podcast Works to Diversify and Elevate Running for All Athletes

had the opportunity to turn the tables on the hosts to better understand who they are, what they hope to change, and how the evolving culture of running can be more inclusive.What led you guys to start the Running Report?In my senior year of high school, I started a vlog with five of my best friends. We were one of the best freshman classes in the state, and we went into our senior year ranked at about No. 5 in the nation.

Once we went to college, we stopped vlogging because my friends went to Riverside Community College, and I was at Cal State Northridge. I didn’t like vlogging by myself. I wanted to start running reports monthly to talk about the biggest running news, because when I look at running media, there are just not many people that look like me. Not a lot of Black and Brown faces. I always wanted to see running and track and field on ESPN, but it never really happens, definitely not on. So, I started Running Report because I think the only way this sport can progress and be better in the media space is that we need more.

Even though I was 19 at the time, I wanted to just try and be the start to that, which led to Running Report. Aaron was always my go-to guy; I’d ask him what I should do? Does this sound good? One day Aaron [suggested that] we should do a podcast. I said let’s call it 2 Black Runners, and we just went from there pretty much.

“For there to be diversity, there have to be platforms. Platforms that allow pieces that deliver diversity.”Diversity would be Black and Brown faces, but I look at track and field as it’s diverse in events and body shapes. When you look at shot put, there are so many different types of people doing it, from Black to white, to whatever race to whatever gender to whatever sexuality. There’s diversity in every event, but not all events are invited to the party.
