Running for Beginners | 4 Things you DON'T need to get started
Today we’re diving into a topic that’s close to my heart: busting the myths that might be holding you back from hitting the pavement and embracing the runner’s high.
Have you ever thought you needed to be an experienced runner to start? Or maybe you’ve hesitated because you don’t have the latest running gear? Well, I’m here to tell you to ignore those voices in your head and hit the pavement (or trail, or treadmill...) Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned pro, running is all about getting out there and enjoying the ride.
In this episode, I break down why you absolutely do not need prior running experience, fancy running clothes, a high-tech smartwatch, or even a race to train for. Running is about simplicity and freedom, starting with just a solid pair of running shoes and a solid attitude.
So, whether you’re gearing up for your first mile or looking to refresh your running routine, join me as we celebrate the joy of running without the unnecessary extras. Let’s make running more approachable, fun, and inclusive for everyone!
