Hi yall! Super stoked to join this group after recently finding this podcast. I am a former athlete who’s found her home in the gym with lifting but has always wanted to run a marathon. My cousin ran her first last year and is finally getting me over that hump to run one with her. Shooting for Milwaukee Lakefront on October 4th!

I'm so happy to have discovered Taylor's podcast + this community as I train for my 1st marathon (May 2 in Durham, NC).

Hi everyone! My name is Shawna and I live in New Jersey. I am running the Philadelphia marathon as my first marathon! I’m excited but scared 🤪

Hi everyone! Nice to meet you :) So excited to be running my first marathon this year. I have always wanted to “be a runner”. Out of college, 10+ years ago, I jog/ran a half marathon and enjoyed it. However, for years I had some health struggles which held me back - mostly mentally but also physically. I’ve gotten my health on track the past 2 years and have wanted to take running seriously. Now I’m grateful I’m healthy enough that I can. I am so lucky to have a charity bib to run the NYC marathon this year! My first stop on that journey is The Flying Pig half in Cincinnati this May. As a born and raised Cincinnatian I’ve always loved watching my friends and family participate and I’ve done the 5K and 10K in the past. So excited for the journey but also nervous for the challenge. Thanks for the community and support!

Hi my name is Audra and I’m beyond excited to be a part of this group. I have been running off and on since my 30s and I am currently 52. I have done 4 half marathons and quite a few 10k&5ks. I have dreamed of doing a full marathon for many years and have finally committed to training and signed up for my very first to run in December. I am so happy to have found this group and Taylor’s podcast. Listening to all these amazing stories on my runs brings me such excitement and motivation to run my first at the end of this year. Love these podcasts Taylor and keep them coming 😁👏🏼
