In this episode of the Runner Rising Podcast, I chat with Stine Turgeon, founder of Run Aligned retreats. Stine came to running later in life and fell in love with it. She first turned to run coaching, utilizing Facebook groups to find clients. She then realized that her true passion is creating community & helping high achieving women find more joy and acceptance in their running journey.

In this interview, you'll feel like you're on a coffee date with 2 ambitious runners who discuss some less traditional ways to turn your passion into running into a career.

*Note there's some sound issues early on due to a poor connection but we resolved it 9 minutes in and audio improves. Thank you for your understanding!

Run coach, are you feeling frustrated by your lack of growth on Instagram? Starting to wonder if there's even a point to posting there anymore?
