EP. 40 - Running is Always the Answer | Maddie Maher
About this episode
In this week’s episode, we’re joined by guest Maddie Maher (@mileswithmaddie). Maddie is a writer and runner who has combined her love for both through her Instagram account, where she tells stories of her running journey and provides a welcoming voice for the running community!
Our discussion went in-depth on many important topics:
- The evolution that we have as runners, both mentally and physically
- Tips for fighting back the common feelings of imposter syndrome
- Why nutrition is crucial and how to individualize your approach
- The value of self-belief and commitment to the day-to-day training
Maddie speaks so effectively to the humanity of running and how we can better our lives, and that of those around us, by continuing to show up for ourselves, mile by mile. Throughout the episode, you will gain valuable perspectives that apply to runners of all experience levels. You are sure to be even more grateful for your next run after listening to our conversation!
