About this listen

At the gym the other day, someone asked me:
“Got any advice for a fat guy who wants to start running… asking for a friend?” 😄

That sparked a convo about something I always teach runners—whether you’re training for your first 5K or your first 100-miler:

👉 Start with walking.
👉 Build from there.
👉 Use the Walk/Run Gradient.

In this episode, I’m breaking down my favorite strategy for building endurance without wrecking your body in the process. We’re talking about:

  • Why walking workouts absolutely count
  • What people get wrong about “time on feet”
  • How to use the walk/run gradient to level up safely
  • Why this applies to every distance, from 5K to 200M

This is the foundation I use with clients inside my She Runs Ultras coaching membership—and honestly? It works at every level.
