I know so many of you are working towards running goals and whether it’s a 10k, a half marathon or a full marathon, I know how important and helpful it is to hear first-hand experience and tips from someone who has been in your shoes. Today I brought my friend - and producer of 9 Lives - Rhyanna, onto the podcast to talk about her experience going from beginner to marathon runner in 7 months.
Thank you for submitting your questions - I loved recording this episode! Let me know in the comments below whether you’d like to see more AMA and Q&A bonus episodes from me!
