Veja Running : OFF TRACK

Featured athlete in footwear brand Veja’s “Off Track” interview series.

Transcript:

“My name is Keaton Kustler, I’m 32 years old, and I live in Los Angeles, California. I run for all kinds of reasons, but what keeps me the most enchanted with the sport is how I experience fairness and justice through being a runner…especially as a woman.

Running is one of the only things in my life that feels entirely objective. Running is just a math problem. It’s training + fuel + rest + time = results. And the thing that I love so much about running is that my results are not based on anybody’s opinion of me. They’re not subjective. They’re just facts.

Running doesn’t care how pretty I am, how ugly I am, if I’m charming or prickly, aggressive or gentle. If somebody perceives me to be one way or another, whether somebody likes me or not. If I had a good or a bad idea…

None of that matters on a run. It’s just numbers. Time. Distance. Heart rate. Speed. Elevation.”
