Getting back into running does not mean you have to train for a marathon, run fast, or have everything figured out right away.

In this episode, Morgan talks about how to ease back into running in a realistic way using simple intervals. She shares why those first few runs can feel awkward, how to make running more enjoyable, and why pace does not matter when your goal is simply to move your body and feel more comfortable.

If running has been on your mind, this episode will help you start small, build confidence, and create a plan that actually feels doable.
