In this episode of The Everyday Runner, host Erin Maher challenges the idea that you need to be fast or experienced to be considered a runner. Erin reminds us that everybody is a runner, no matter your pace or how long you've been running. She shares five essential tips for beginner runners, including the importance of investing in proper footwear, starting slow to avoid injury, warming up and cooling down to protect your body, fueling correctly, and most importantly—embracing self-acceptance. Erin emphasizes focusing on your own journey, celebrating personal progress, and not getting caught up in comparisons. Running is a personal experience, and Erin encourages listeners to embrace the community, share their stories, and be proud of every step, no matter how small.
Tune in for practical advice and inspiration to help you on your own running journey!
