Ever look back at your first race and think, Wow, I had no idea what I was doing? Same. In this episode, I’m sharing five things I wish I knew before toeing my first start line—like why pacing is everything, how walk breaks can actually help you finish stronger, and the one thing no one tells you about race day nerves. Whether you’re gearing up for your first 5K or just love a good “rookie mistake” story, this episode has something for you. Tune in and get ready to run smarter, not harder!
