36: From Miles to Meaning with Adi Bandekar

🌃 For many, running is all about community. This week’s guest, Heartbreak Coach (and Heartbreak regular) Adi Bandekar, embodies that spirit completely.

🏃‍♂️ In this episode, Adi shares his journey from solo runner to a pillar of the Heartbreak community. We talk marathon training, routine, finding belonging, and what it really means to connect through running. To wrap it up, Brian picks Adi’s brain about run commuting, and why it just might be the best way to get to work.

Enjoy!
