Running for Beginners

Season 2 of the Running for Beginners podcast from the 22resolutionists, hosted by me Mike Fleming begins now!

“I thought I was too slow for a running club. Turns out, I just hadn’t found my people yet.”

If you’ve spent your first year running solo — maybe following a training plan, doing the occasional virtual race, or logging miles before the rest of the world wakes up — first of all, congratulations. You’ve built something solid. But what if your next big breakthrough isn’t about mileage or pace… but people?

In this month’s episode of the Running for Beginners podcast, I sat down with Henri Coeme, leader of The Joplin Roadrunners, to talk all about the power of running communities. And if you’ve ever felt nervous, unsure, or just plain curious about joining a club, this conversation is for you.

Welcome to episode 5 of the Running for Beginners podcast from the 22resolutionists, hosted by Mike Fleming. In this episode I delve into the world of nutrition supplements focusing on the basic needs of a beginning runner. I was honored to be able to interview/speak with Josh Granger of General Nutrition Centers (GNC) in Rogers Arkansas to get his suggestions and expertise on useful supplements for runners. Like picking shoes or gear, nutrition supplements are also a very personalized, subjective topic and can be overwhelming to some. If you’re not already familiar with the topic please follow up listening to this episode with a visit to your local nutrition supplement store and speak to the staff about your needs. If you are familiar, I hope I touched on something new for you. And if you have a product you love or I didn’t talk about, post a comment or DM me.
