    "I Was a Runner the Moment I Started Running" | Why Running Is for Everybody With Tatiana Forbes

    "I Was a Runner the Moment I Started Running" | Why Running Is for Everybody With Tatiana Forbes

    Tatiana Forbes started running postpartum in 2023, unable to run for more than 30 seconds. She joined us on The Runna Podcast after crossing the finish line of the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon.


    Anya Culling and Kayla Jeter sit down with runner, content creator, and founder of the Best for Last Run Club. The self-proclaimed 'slow runner' shares the struggle of being left behind at a run club, and not seeing herself in the runners around her.


    Tatiana will help you answer the question most beginner runners quietly ask themselves: am I actually a runner? Tatiana's answer - and her journey to get there - is worth hearing. 


    In this episode:

    ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Postpartum running: starting from zero, 30 seconds at a time 

    ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ Run/walk strategy: why it works from mile one - not just when you're struggling 

    ๐Ÿ’ฌ Left behind: the run club moment that built Best for Last 

    ๐Ÿง  Watchless racing: ditching GPS at the NYC Half - and what happened 

    ๐Ÿชž Runner identity: pace, body confidence & belonging in the sport 

    ๐Ÿ Race inclusivity: what races need to do to actually serve slower runners


    Whether you're just starting out, returning after a break, or have always wondered if running is really for someone like you - this one's for you.


    ๐ŸŽง Follow along for new episodes every Friday with Olympians, World Record Holders, and inspiring voices form the running community.
