In this episode of The Average Runner Podcast, I chat with Noah Kraulidis from Chicago, IL, who started running on a whim in January 2024. After dedicating most of his time and energy to his sales career, Noah realized he needed a positive outlet outside of work—and running became that transformative change. He shares how running has significantly impacted his mental health, helped him find balance, and why he decided to train for his first marathon this October. We also discuss his recent accomplishment of completing his first half marathon and his advice for anyone looking to start their own running journey.
