In this engaging conversation, ⁨@justalilbester⁩ and I discuss the multifaceted world of running, touching on personal journeys, the importance of community, the balance between family life and performance, and the challenges of social media.

I loved how Nick openly shared insights on coaching, the significance of choosing the right running shoes, and offered valuable advice for new runners. The discussion culminates in a reflection on future goals and aspirations in the running community.

In episode 11, I'm diving deep into the world of running apps, comparing the Runna app to the popular Garmin Connect and the Coopah app. I share my thoughts and the pros and cons of each, and why I am aiming for marathon training using Garmin Connect.

In the YouTube section, i highlight @runningchannel and @jasonsrunning and encourage you to follow these channels becayse they definitely will add something to your viewing.

Lastly, I spotlight the @ASICSGlobal Novablast 5 and highlight the current Asics running rotation.

The question of the day, is running currently overcommercialised?
