Do you ever feel like you’re not a “real runner”? Maybe you think you’re too slow, need to run a certain distance, or have to look a certain way to belong on the pavement. I’ve been there too, and I’ve learned that these are just stories we tell ourselves that hold us back.
In this episode, I’m sharing the 5 most common running myths that stop beginners from starting or enjoying running, and the truth behind them. From pacing and speed, to walk breaks, distance, and body image, we’re busting these lies and giving you permission to take your first steps with confidence.
You’ll learn:


Why you don’t need natural talent to start running


How “fast” is relative and why speed isn’t the goal


Why walking can be a smart part of training


That you don’t need a race or to run a certain distance to be a runner


How to embrace your body and mindset for consistent, joyful running


Listen now and leave these running myths behind!
