Ever wondered how focusing on what you can do rather than what you can't can make a significant impact on your running journey? Join us as we chat with Colleen, an avid runner with a lifelong passion for the sport, and discover her unique insights on running techniques, training, and technology that have transformed her life!

In this engaging conversation, we explore Colleen's journey from being a gymnast at school to becoming a dedicated runner, as well as her experience with injuries and favorite running gear. We also discuss the evolution of women's running and the remarkable marathoners who inspired her in her younger years. Plus, we delve into how running has become more inclusive and accessible for people of all ages and abilities through events like Park Run and the London Marathon.

Finally, Colleen shares her strategies for training for half marathons and improving overall running fitness, including mapping out routes, gradually adding in running, getting a good pair of shoes, and enjoying the environment around you. We also discuss the confidence and empowerment that comes with having a base level of fitness, and how other activities like dance can complement running. Don't miss this empowering and informative episode with the incredible Colleen!
