How does running make you feel? It shouldn’t be a tricky question to answer, but the truth is falling in love with running is an ongoing journey. And let’s face it, the past two years with ourselves have only made us work harder to take care of ourselves. From rebooting our sleep habits to buying endless patio plants—funny how we managed to make self-care a whole new job. It's okay if running didn't always make the list.
Moreover, we sometimes let life get in the way of all the goodness that comes with running. Who's thinking about hitting a few miles after five zoom calls?
That's why we teamed up with Fleet Feet to get back to the heart of what keeps us moving and thriving in our latest On the Run video series. On the Run with RUNGRL is an unscripted series, in partnership with Fleet Feet, that dives into common topics and issues faced by everyday runners as they fall in and out (and back) in love with running. In this series, we’ll hear from eight women on their unique experiences with running.
These unscripted conversations feature real women runners who are rediscovering why they started hitting the road in the first place and the expert tips they’ve picked up along the way. From the benefits of accountability partners to balancing mental and physical health, these women get real about the commitment to self, community, and personal growth through staying the course.
"It’s super easy to sacrifice the promises you make to yourself for other people and other things—you put yourself last. [Running] has given us a chance to actually put ourselves first. We choose ourselves every time we show up,” says L’Kel Little, a Washington, D.C.-area marathoner featured in On the Run with RUNGRL.
Marathon trainees and everyday runners alike need a good dose of inspiration at times. Tune into the four-episode series for your own does of inspiration as these everyday runners reveal teachable moments to maintain a solid running practice that gives you a fuller life in return.
Watch the series trailer, then check out all episodes as they release on the Fleet Feet Sports Youtube Channel.
