Sarah and Molly talk with three formerly reluctant runners on how they each became an enthusiastic runner. The women share:

-the beauty of a walk break;

-mantras + mottos that get them moving

-the lure of data + annual mileage tallies;

-about shifting from road to trail—and how it banishes negative self-talk; and,

-how comparison is the thief of joy

Molly shares about recent foot surgery in the intro, then the host duo delve into the main conversation at 5:44.
