We touch on the concept of 'sexy pace'—a sweet spot in speed that's both injury-resistant and progress-friendly. From his witty dive into meme culture to an artistic side that includes comic book creation and music, @carlostherunner is more than a brand representative; he's an inspiration for everyone to keep up their own 'sexy pace' in all walks (and runs) of life.
