Stop focusing on the mile splits and start focusing on the miles lived. Every runner has a story worth telling.
Welcome to At Your Own Pace, the podcast that tears down the finish line and celebrates every single stride. Inspired by the authentic grit and transformative power of the global running community, we believe that to run is to live, regardless of speed or distance.
We sit down with runners of all backgrounds, paces, and finish times—from the back-of-the-pack walker to the seasoned ultra-marathoner. You won't just hear about PRs; you'll hear about the mental battles, the moments of profound connection, the personal healing, and the sheer joy found on the roads, trails, and tracks.
If you believe running is about more than a number on a clock, this is your starting line. Tune in to find inspiration, feel connected, and celebrate the beautiful, messy, and incredible range of experiences within the running family. Your pace is perfect. Your story matters.
