In episode 346 of The Real Life Runners Podcast, host Angie speaks to Lori Duesing, a member of the Real Life Runners Academy, about her inspiring journey from non-athletic kid to runner, featuring her struggle with weight, depression, and self-doubt. Lori shares her experiences of learning to slow down, listen to her body, and develop herself as a runner - all key components of the trainings she's undergone through the academy.
