The Stronger Stride Podcast

In case you missed it, one of our favourite episodes from the archives!

*Interview starts at 24:35*

About The Slow Coach:

"She wasn’t interested in metrics like getting faster, but in celebrating time alone, time on feet, personal progress, better mental health and the life affirming process of overcoming a personal obstacle. Over time she clarified these insights into a running community and qualified as a Level 3 Performance Development Coach (Trail & Ultra) through Athletics Australia. She is a wife and mum to two (almost) grown-up boys.

The Slow Coach aims to create a safe, inclusive and welcoming space for runners who might otherwise be intimidated by running programs. No matter your age, experience, fitness levels, size or aspirations we can get you from flat to finish line."

In this episode we speak about:

- How Andrea went from a self-proclaimed 'couch potato' to an ultra-marathon runner

- The Slow Coach Philosophy and how Andrea's service differs from others

- The mindset of going into a race knowing that you're going to finish at the back of the pack

- Advice for those who want to start running but feel as though they are too “slow/unfit/old”

- The assumption that a good athlete is automatically a good coach

- The inclusivity of the running community and what we can do better to help runners of all abilities feel more welcome
