I have so much to discuss with you on this episode of The Not Your Average Runner Podcast. Earlier this week, I had a conversation that made me realize that the benefit of “you doing you” might reach further than just yourself – I can’t wait to tell you how that concept fits into how […]

We’re going back to basics today, Rebels. We’ve been focusing lately on consistency and not quitting, and I’ve been offering ideas to you about how to keep coming back to exercise.
