#134 - Are you struggling to stay motivated with your running routine? The secret might not be a new training plan or fancy gear, but rather the power of community. In this episode, we sit down with Kayla and Jarrod Zwirko, founders of H2gO Run Club, to explore how running communities can transform your running journey and help you achieve goals you never thought possible.

From their transformation from non-runners to marathoners to building an inclusive running community that welcomes "all paces and faces," Kayla and Jarrod share valuable insights about the importance of connection, accountability, and support. This conversation highlights how finding your running community might be the most critical step in your running journey.

Topics Covered:

• How community accountability helps runners stay consistent and push beyond their perceived limitations
• The importance of avoiding comparison with other runners
• Building an inclusive running space that welcomes everyone from complete beginners to experienced marathoners
• How running communities provide both the initial inspiration to start and the ongoing motivation to continue

Kayla Zwirko 

Kayla's running journey began in 2020, inspired by her husband, Jarrod. After an unexpected opportunity to run the 2022 Boston Marathon—she returned in 2023, cutting over an hour from her time. This ignited a passion that led to multiple marathons, a 50-mile ultramarathon, and a run coaching certification. Now, she coaches with NYRR, provides 1:1 coaching, emcees for the Hartford Marathon Foundation, and co-founded H2gO to inspire and connect runners. 

Jarrod Zwirko

Jarrod started running in 2020 after being inspired by The Hole in the Wall Gang’s NYC Marathon team. A former swimmer, he took on marathon training as a new challenge and has since completed seven marathons, now aiming for the World Marathon Majors. Seeking a running community, he and Kayla founded H2gO Life to connect and inspire fellow runners. 

H2gO

H2gO is built on inclusivity, welcoming all paces and faces, and since 2023, has quickly grown through local collaborations and a wider meetup radius, showcasing our dedication to building a strong running community. Whether you're training for a marathon or just getting started, it’s a supportive space for runners and walkers of all levels.
