As a relative newcomer to trails and being a bloke of a certain age, I’ve gained so much from this series. Listening, as I trot around the Hobart hills, to folk who run far and often, has helped me get better, normalise my fears and aspirations, and increase my enjoyment of running, not just of ‘having been for a run’.
Thanks Michelle for curating such a fascinating bunch.
I’ve pulled out my runners and started RUNNING again bc of your kind and loving words of support. And I love your mindful tips!! So good!!
I just adore her mindful moments series! When I’m feeling overwhelmed or a creative block, it’s so great to open up one of them and get an inspirational idea or a way that I can tap into being more grounded and mindful in that moment. Highly recommend the bubble bath one! Because I just love bubble baths, and a good excuse to take one. 😜
I have been following this podcast pretty much since it was created back in 2021.
Michelle has fantastic interviews with inspiring people who are just getting out there and running.
Such an inspiration for all
