For this episode, I am excited to interview Tina Muir and Zoë Rom about their new book Becoming a Sustainable Runner. The book talks about how to be a happy and healthy runner for a lifetime while also giving back to your community and your environment. In this conversation, we talk about:

• The importance of taking a long term view of your running journey
• Disconnecting your identity from your outcomes
• Acknowledging life's stressors and giving yourself grace
• Navigating the seasons of life and how your journey might evolve
• Measuring your progress on the things that matter
• Finding your community within the sport
• Taking the first steps in activism
• Creating sustainable running events and races
• Making good, environmentally-friendly choices for travel, shoes, and gear

Through the discussion, Tina and Zoë emphasize that it's not about achieving perfection but rather taking small incremental steps along the way. The book is out on August 15th. Go get yours!

I have had several people ask me recently about how my running journey is progressing. Well, here it is. I give you an update on the last 18 months of training for me and what's next for the rest of 2023 as I build toward the Houston Marathon in 2024.

Do you focus too much on half marathon or marathon training while neglecting your speed? If so, this episode is for you. In it, I talk about 5 misperceptions of training for the 5K or 10K distances. Spoiler alert: no, 5K-10K training won't take away from your half marathon or marathon potential. (Just the opposite in fact). Listen, learn, then go chance some speed every now and then!

Thank you to listener Hannah for the inspiration for this episode.

It's time to change the narrative!!

As a coach, I consistently here similar, negative things from the runners I meet and coach, but mostly these are false narratives that get in the way of reaching true potential. In this episode, I give you 10 of those lies and tell you how to change your story.

From "I'm not a runner" to "I'm slow" or "I don't have time," the list goes on and on.

Which of these lies do you believe about yourself? Are you ready to flip the script?!?
