Beth Baker's Fresh Fitness Perspective: Outrun the Zombies and Dismantle the Gender/Color Barriers of Running
In this episode of Think Fit Be Fit, Jenn begins a special series on finding fresh fitness perspectives on what is actually going on in the fitness industry. She speaks with Beth Baker, Certified Running Coach, Personal Trainer and Chief Running Officer of Running Evolution. Having personally coached almost 2,500 non-runners to run distances from 5Ks to marathons, Beth talks about aging and running, how giving yourself space to learn as you train allows you to extend grace toward yourself, and why movement can be the ultimate goal in your wellness journey.
Topics discussed:
- Beth’s background of training, group running and passion for community
