Krys sits down with longtime FLK Method member and newly minted instructor Kim K to talk all things running, mindset, and motherhood. From high school cross country captain to new mom and full-time educator, Kim shares her journey with fitness, how she fell in love with running, and why it remains her go-to method for emotional regulation, stress relief, and empowerment.

Whether you're new to running or looking to get back into a routine, this episode is packed with real, honest advice about building habits, avoiding burnout, and setting goals that actually stick. Kim and Krys also dive deep into toxic diet culture, letting go of the scale, and the power of showing up—especially on the hard days.

  • How Kim got started with running (and why cross country isn’t just “regular running”)
  • The real mental game behind running and how to climb the “mountain of the mind”
  • Tips for beginners who want to start running without burning out
  • How motherhood transformed Kim’s approach to fitness and self-care
  • Why we need to ditch the scale and redefine what success looks like
