That sense of being out of place can show up in running and everyday life and it's not an easy feeling to deal with. Whether it's on a start line, in a running club, on social media, or even within yourself. Yet for many runners, running has also been the very thing that helped them find connection, purpose, and a place where they finally felt at home.
In this episode of Run Your Mind, runners open up about moments in their lives and running journeys where they felt like they didn’t fit in and how that began to change.
They share:

The moments, people, or communities that helped them feel a genuine sense of belonging.
Advice for anyone listening who feels like they don’t fit in or is still searching for their people in running or in life.
