Hey Running Friends! Today's episode is about gaining confidence in yourself as a runner. One determinant of whether we continue to progress in running is how confident we are in ourselves, and how much we feel like we can make decisions for ourselves. I'm giving you some tips and tricks to start running with assurance. Knowledge is power, and I encourage you to gain as much of it about running as you can so you can apply concepts to your own training, and feel good doing it.
