This is an episode from our archives. Martinus Evans did not have an easy start to running. Weighing over 300 pounds, he set out to finish a marathon after a doctor told him to “lose weight or die.” He writes about his running journey in his book, Slow AF Run Club: The Ultimate Guide for Anyone Who Wants to Run.

  • Hey there, it's Shamita here.

  • It's the start of a new year, which for many of us means thinking about our habits,

  • our routines, how we take care of ourselves.

  • So we're bringing back a favorite episode from the archive about how to make exercise feel genuinely positive and sustainable,

  • not something you have to drag yourself through.

  • I hope you enjoy it and we'll be back with new episodes next week.

  • This is In Conversation from Apple News.

  • I'm Shamita Basu.

  • Today, how to learn to love running.

  • Martinez Evans was not a runner the day he decided to train for a marathon.

  • It was 2012.

  • He was working over eight hours a day on his feet,

  • and he started to feel pain in his hip, so he went to go see a doctor.

  • He looks at me and says, I know why you in pain.

  • Me, okay, well tell me why I'm in pain.

  • You ain't put a stethoscope on me, you ain't touched me, you ain't do anything.

  • And he was like, you're fat, and you need to lose weight or you're gonna die.

  • Martinez weighed 360 pounds.

  • He was used to doctors zeroing in on his weight before anything else,

  • but still, it made him furious.
