  • For the Love of Running | Olivia, Sailor, & Yukino

    This week on the podcast Tyler and Heidi are joined by 3 Boise State Collegiate Cross country and track and field runners to share their expertise on the world of running.

    We are so excited for this week's episode because these running experts are here to shed a light on the LOVE of running! Tyler and I are not shy about our disdain for running and what a struggle it is....but this week we have a 180-degree perspective switch with these ladies.

    Their contagious laughter, light-hearted spirit, and the way they talk about running is almost like they are referring to a dear friend.

    Even I wanted to get out and go for a run after recording this episode and I'm sure you will be inspired too!
