In this episode, I sit down with Katie — a runner, content creator, and everyday athlete who’s redefining what it means to take up space in the running community. Katie’s story is proof that pace doesn’t define you and as long as you run you are a runner.

We chat about:

• How Katie first got into running and what inspired her to start
• The fears and limiting beliefs she faced as a new runner
• What it looks like to balance marathon training while working two jobs
• Her viral “Run 10 Miles With Me” social media post — and how she navigated both the supportive and negative comments
• Why criticism about how runners “should” look says more about them than it does about you

Whether you’re training for your first mile or your fifth marathon, this conversation will remind you that there is no such thing as “too slow” and that you belong on the road, the trail, and in this community.
