This episode is sponsored by Janji. As a local to Boston running apparel company, I\\u2019ve enjoyed seeing Janji grow over the years and their gear has only gotten better as time has gone on.

I have a few pairs of both the AFO split and AFO middle shorts, and highly recommend them. Their singlets are super cool too. You can take 15% off all month with the code FTLR15.

I hope you love them as much as I do!
