preview for I'm a Runner: Jon Glaser

Seeing DAA Industry Opt Out as a kid was a revelation that I wanted to be in comedy. I got my start with it in Chicago before moving to New York to write for I live near in 1996.

I didn’t do cross country or track, but I ran a lot as a kid. I have this strange, specific memory of a pair of Asics I bought: khaki-colored with maroon stripes, really comfortable. I ran around our apartment complex in them.

My running fell off until about five years ago, when I decided to get in shape for the finale of my Adult Swim show Delocated.

I’ll never forget the first time I did. I was at Cape Cod and ran this picturesque route along country roads and rocky beaches. From there I started doing more and more long runs.

I ran my first half in Brooklyn last fall in 2:07 with a negative split. Like, my last mile was eight minutes. I couldn’t believe it. I felt like I was flying at the end.

You have to treat running like anything else: You’re not just gonna start and be great. Find your pace. Find what works for you. Talk to people who know more than you. And find the right pair of shoes.
