Marathons might get all the attention, but the real wins often happen at 5Ks and 10Ks. In this episode, we celebrate short-distance running and why it’s the perfect goal for beginners, casual runners, or anyone looking for a sustainable challenge. We’ll bust the myth that “real runners go long,” share practical training tips for crushing your next 5K, and spotlight the joy, pride, and progress that come from showing up and running your race — whatever the distance.
