333. Love on the Run with Matt Llano & Brannon Harbur

\u201cThat was the kicker: Matt said, \u2018If the dog doesn\u2019t like you, you have to go.\u2019\u201d

One day, in Flagstaff, AZ, professional runner Matt Llano walked into a local coffee shop where Brannon Harbur was working. That first day they met, they talked for hours \u2014 long after Brannon\u2019s shift had ended. They agreed to meet up for a first date of sorts, at a group run. Fitting, for a professional runner. But Brannon wasn\u2019t a runner. Still, he showed up, because he was interested \u2014 in Matt, not in running. Brannon went on to run 10 miles (alongside Stephanie Bruce), getting to know Matt in the process. They\u2019ve been together every day since then. Today, Matt is a professional runner for Under Armour and Dark Sky Distance, and Brannon is the Chief Experience Officer of Mental Performance at HYPO2. On this episode, they talk about how running factors into their relationship today, and about the time Brannon tried to teach Matt about accounting while on a long run. (It\u2026didn\u2019t go well.) Plus, they talk about meeting each other\u2019s families, share their coming out stories, and talk about being LGBTQ+ role models in the running community and beyond. They live together in Flagstaff with their two dogs.
