Summary

Tommy chats with Alex Hermansson (@herm.runs). It’s a conversation that feels like a genuine exhale in the modern running world. Herm is a breath of fresh air. Someone who clearly loves running for what it is. Together, they talk about doing running your way, expressing yourself through movement, and resisting the pressure to follow the status quo or fit neatly into whatever version of “runner” is currently trending. It’s a conversation about individuality, creativity, and choosing a relationship with running that feels honest, sustainable, and true to who you are. If you’ve ever felt slightly out of place in running culture, or quietly resisted doing things “the right way,” this one will land. --- SUMS: Go to sumsclub.co.uk and use the code RUNNABLE at check out to get the third pair of beautiful socks in your checkout basket for FREE!
