Mirna Valerio on Running Slow and Why It's Okay to Train Seriously


Listen Later

Mirna Valerio has made a name for herself as one of the most relatable ultrarunners in the sport. As a Lululemon Ambasssador, finisher of multiple ultras, and an author, Mirna shares her journey as an ultrarunner to show others that running is for everyone, not just the pros.

Mirna dives into the misconception that running is solely about speed and discusses the transformative power of embracing a slower pace. She emphasizes the significance of honoring your body's needs, setting realistic goals, and finding joy in the process. Mirna's refreshing take on slow running reminds us that every step forward, regardless of pace, is a step towards self-improvement and personal growth.

We also dive into cross-training, and Mirna encourages listeners to explore diverse forms of exercise, allowing for a balanced and well-rounded fitness journey.

Additionally, Mirna shares her firsthand experience training for the Lululemon Further challenge, sharing her stories, thoughts, and perspectives about the epic 6-day event upcoming next year.

Prepare to be motivated and encouraged to redefine your own running journey while prioritizing self-care and inclusivity along the way.

Huge thank you to Mirna for coming on the show!
