I never anticipated I’d be as interested in running as I am now. I’ve always liked to be active and try new things. I played baseball and basketball while I was growing up, and have skateboarded most of my life. But I didn’t really see the appeal of just running. But then, in 2014, a friend pushed me to run a 5K with him. My friend was someone I skated with so I trusted him. And I have been running pretty much ever since.

When finished my first 5K—a small hometown Halloween race—I remember being sure it was the hardest thing I’d ever done. I didn’t want that feeling to go away, so I kept working towards a 10K, then a half marathon, Best green sneakers marathon in 2019, the Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, Minnesota.

I grew up in the suburbs of Minnesota and in middle school, I fell in love with skateboarding. Every other extracurricular activity I had been doing was dirt in comparison. I dropped everything else, which definitely wasn’t my parents’ favorite thing. Skateboarding is a very individual sport when it comes to setting personal goals, but overall it depends a lot on having community and other people. I think there are a lot of commonalities with running in that way.

As we grew out of being gangly middle schoolers, my friends and I did what kids like that do. After a long day of skating, we’d drink some beers. Eventually, we’d maybe do a long day of beers instead, and then some skating. I was having fun. In the skate scene back then it was cool to party a lot.

Well-known skateboarders, like Neen Williams and Kevin Long, made me feel comfortable with the idea that I could be part of the skate community and stop being hungover every day.

My favorite race was the New York City Marathon—the energy of the city is unmatched. I usually run by the water in Venice, Los Angeles, and when I am in New York City, I like to run in Prospect Park. This year, I plan to run the Chicago Marathon, Nike 'KD Trey 5 IX' Men's Boots.

I still skate, too. For anyone who’s looking to do both, my best advice would be to give it a shot and see how far you can make it. I felt active before I started running, but was surprised by both the places where the skills overlap and where they don’t. For example, skating works your leg muscles, but isn’t cardio heavy. I’ve never had any issues doing both consistently.

Running to me felt like an easy way to shift from just being “active” to making a conscious effort towards paying attention to how my body feels. Running makes me feel good, and focusing on chasing things that fulfill your body can be a domino effect for doing that in other areas of your life.


These three tips have helped my running journey be a success:

1. Create consistency

If you don’t move it, you lose it. Motion is the best lotion!

2. Focus on distance

What to look for in running shoes.

3. Just get started

I have never come home after running and said, “Man I wish I didn’t go for that run.”


Tanner's Must-Have Gear

Haribo Gummy Bears: Adidas neo Cosmic 2 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers F34877.

On Running Explorer Pants: I skate and run in these, so I need them to be light and durable. They are both.

Casio AE-1200WH-1A: This might get some hate, but I can’t use fancy wearables. Having that much information ends up giving me anxiety, so I just stick with this simple, inexpensive Casio watch—old school.

Zapatillas Trail Running MTL Long Sky: I love speed shades. Spy makes some big ol’ honkers. They’re like windshields for your face.
