Imo Muller is a 2:25 marathoner, founder of Hardloopnetwork and the BIG10 and all-round running mover and shaker. I invited him to be on the show as I wanted to get a better idea about his projects and what is own running story is. Imo is not short on energy or running ambition. He knows the lay of the land well and what is attractive for runners in the Netherlands.

During our conversation, I talk with Imo about Dutch running culture, the popularity of running here, the legendary-ness of the incredible Sifan Hassan, the Rotterdam-Amsterdam marathon running conundrum and racing strategies, amongst other matters.

I hope that you enjoy this episode. If you do, smash the review button, spam your friends, write a letter, call someone on the telephone, or put a message into a pneumatic tube and send it on its way.

Run both wildly and with care, for both yourself and not for the kudos; for glory and for just for the sake of it.

Until next time, doi doi
