Welcome to my podcast “I QUIT ____ and STARTED RUNNING”.

Join me each week for a conversation about where they started, what it was that made them want to change, how running factored in and where they are today. If you have had obstacles in your life that you have conquered by getting into running, we would love to hear your story. To enter, just email us at QuitxStartRunning@gmail.com.
