#51: Knox Robinson - Black Roses NYC, Runner, Writer, Music, Poetry, Coach, Kipchoge - a podcast by WRG Media

On this episode of Le Run Down we had an uplifting chat with runner, writer and black roses NYC crew leader, Knox Robinson.

Honestly, it’s hard to wrap this guy into a short introduction. He's multifaceted and our talk spans running, culture, literature, music, and more.

From high school races, to training camps with Kipchoge, Knox shares his wild journey. He’s well spoken, creative and real. You’ll love this conversation, as it’s unlike any other story we’ve told.
