@katherineruns: NOOOO! I think us being more transparent about our running experience helps so folks, especially those in the back of the pack, that they’re truly not alone and belong in the running community. I wish I had had the courage (and energy) to share my running journey more when I was in my 20+ min/mile era in 2023. During that time I felt so alone. Folks would share their “slow runs” on social media with 12 min/mile and faster, and I’m back there running their casual walking pace. Now I’ve grown so much as a runner — not just in pace, but in consistency, confidence, stamina, energy, experience, etc. I share my pace (and try to be transparent about my past pace) because that’s what I was looking for a few years ago when I started my running journey. So I hope that me sharing this resonates with someone who needs to hear it. #SlowRunner #SlowRunnersClub #BeginnerRunner #PlusSizeRunner #RunningCommunity
