A Love for Running A Treasure Trove of the Best Tips from My Friends

I was running through the streets of Woodstock, Illinois, pacing along with my Spotify liked songs playlist, the spring sun shining on me.

I thought of running advice I could give you here, based on what I’ve learned from experience.

& then it popped into my head: I have sooo many friends who are, like, really good at this running thing, & I should ask them for their insight!

& so I did.

I reached out to some friends, most of them from an outdoor exercise group I’ve been attending since 2023, & asked if they’d share their running experience, some running tips, & what they love about running.

& thus this episode was born!

Warning! listening to this episode might make you want to put on some running shoes & start... running :)

Special shoutout to November Project, a special outdoor workout community that makes movement fun & connected –& in my opinion, the best place to be in Madison at 6:28 am on Friday mornings.
