LOS ANGELES — Tapping into the inner emotions, memories, and psychology to truly “become” the character of a runner rather than merely portray one, method runner Richie Moreno reportedly refuses to break the role when not running.
Decked out in a singlet, arm sleeves, and aggressively short shorts at all hours of the day, Moreno is apparently unwilling to separate the sport from his identity as a person. Close sources confirmed that shoes, PRs, and unsolicited running advice dominate all conversations with friends, family, and coworkers, with Moreno speaking strictly in the dialect of a runner in every interaction.
“The runner is truly such a complex, intricate individual who wears many hats, and outfits in general,” Moreno said while jogging in place waiting for the shower water to warm up. “Embodying the role requires the ability to genuinely feel and experience the emotional reality and the rich tapestry of the runner’s world. That authenticity is exactly what I aim to bring to each performance, on and off the road. From long runs to long talks with my wife about our future. From daily training to monthly performance reviews with my boss. From easy runs to complex situations involving following certain laws.”
At press time, Williams had been fired for workplace indecency after one of his testicles became visible through the opening of his 2.5-inch inseam shorts while stretching during a client presentation.
