Big Boys Can Run Too 🏃🏻♂️💪🏼
I’ve spent years enjoying the gym, lifting heavy, building strength, and honestly just loving weight training. But somewhere along the way people started acting like you can either be “a runner” or “a big guy” - apparently not both.
So here’s your reminder: big boys can run too.
I’m heavier than most people out on these courses, and that’s completely fine. I’m not built for speed or podium finishes. I’m built from years of squats, deadlifts, and a hell of a lot of food - and I still love getting out there and running.
Because running isn’t just about pace.
It’s about showing up.
It’s about enjoying the process.
It’s about proving to yourself that your body is capable of more than people expect.
Some runs feel amazing, some feel awful, but every finish line still feels worth it.
I’ll never be the fastest runner out there, and honestly it’s not important to me.
The clock doesn’t decide whether you’re a “real runner.” If you’re out there putting one foot in front of the other, you belong.
Lift weights. Run races. Take up space. But remember your ni**le tape 😂
