Ep. 0006: Martinus Evans
Meet Martinus Evans - Marathon runner, podcast host of 300 Pounds and Running and The Long Run with Martinus and Latoya, future author and founder of the Slow AF Run Club. Martinus, a graduate in Exercise Science, Public Health and Digital Marketing, is known for his award winning public speaking, dynamic run coaching skills that helps plus-size individuals be active without the pressures of weight loss and hones his self professed pronouns of being a B.A.M.F. and if you don't know what this acronym means, Latoya is willing to share the definition with you in private.
On this episode, Martinus Evans and Latoya Shauntay Snell talk about his complicated relationship with body image and weight stereotypes affected him throughout his high school and collegiate years as an offensive lineman and how these viewpoints drastically differed as he shifted gears into becoming a marathoner and influencer. Martinus and Latoya explore the gift of higher education from the Black male perspective, the Slow AF Run Club and navigate through sensitive conversations about mental health.
NOTE: Martinus and Latoya talk about depression and suicide. If you or a loved one is thinking about suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 800-273-8255. You are far from alone and it's okay to not be okay sometimes. Let's remove the stigma on mental health together.
