INTRODUCING: The After Dark Tour Series, Embracing The Starting Line With Emily Abbate
Every run is a new version of you. That's the thing nobody tells you when you're standing there in your first pair of running shoes, wondering if you're allowed to call yourself a runner yet. You are. You already are. You were the moment you decided to lace up, not the moment someone else decided you'd earned it.
In the first episode of our After Dark Tour series, I’m sitting down with Emily Abbate from the Hurdle podcast. Emily started running in 2008 the way a lot of us do, hoping to improve her health, and ended up gaining so much more — self confidence, happiness, and a new passion. We talk about the difference between running for a goal and running for your soul, why community is the thing she wishes she'd trusted sooner, and why a hilly and humid course in LA turned into one of her favorite race memories ever.
We also get into what I think coaching actually is. Spoiler: it's not building something that wasn't there. It's uncovering something that already was. If you're new to the sport, or new to After Dark Tour, or just need a reminder of why you started, this one's for you.
