Author Adharanand Finn chats with Running Punks founder and viral video sensation Jimmy Watkins about racing his idols in the final of the World Athletics Championships, giving up the sport to form a band, and then rediscovering the joy of running many years later. Regrets? He’s had a few, but he has certainly lived a life too. And he is still adventuring to the limit.
