  • Summary

  • The First Mile is a podcast for new runners. If you want to start running, but think you’re too old, too overweight, too out of shape and too slow, then you're in the right place. When it comes to running, everyone has to start somewhere, and every runners journey starts at mile 1. Some people call it running for dummies. We like to call it running for non-runners. So if you want to leave the inactive & sedentary life behind for good, and live the fit & healthy life that you envision for yourself, then get up. It's time to run. Welcome to the First Mile podcast.

    Impostor Syndrome - How to deal with feelings of inadequacy
    Sep 28 2021
    Many new runners and people who are just getting started on their fitness journey often struggle with feelings of inadequacy and thoughts of "I dont belong here". Too many people fall victim to false beliefs about what a runner "should" look like. They are filled with feelings of fear, shame and inadequacy because they dont "look" like a runner or they lack experience. It is this fear that paralyzes people into inaction. These feelings of fear, anxiety, and comparison can keep you trapped on the hamster wheel of staying inactive and sedentary. The truth is many people "look the part", but they're actually feel the same way you do. They're scared, fearful and feel like they dont belong. Today, Scott and I discuss how to re-direct those thoughts and fears, and why you should never judge a book by it's cover. If you suffer from feelings of inadequacy or feeling like you dont belong. This is an episode for you.
