Summary

"My goal is to get as many new runners as possible, increase the awesome community, and laugh while doing it." - Beth Baker Beth Baker started Running Evolution out of trying to run and failing for almost a year. She says she made every mistake; bad sports bras, wrong shoes and just, well, doing it wrong. But after falling in love with the sport and helping her friends start running, she knew she was on to something. The business was created 10 years ago and 2000 new runners were made from the program. She has also started her new venture: Coach Running Evolution.com, a online coaching program, where she is certifying and licensing people to start their own coaching program for new runners. Beth is a colleague and friend of mine in Seattle. We are friends because – well – I stalked her and told her I wanted to be her friend. Seriously. This is how beautiful friendships are made. Beth creates running magic by helping women share the experiences of learning to run together. I can’t say enough good things about the impact Beth has had on the thousands of runners she has coached. I am delighted and honored to share Beth with you today. Listen in to hear Beth share: Why the first three miles of running are the hardest Why running with a group is so much more beneficial, mentally and physically The truth about running when it’s really hurt (hint: you’re fine) Why you don’t need to be fast or run far for running to “count” Why running communities are especially valuable to moms Why running slow can be exactly what you need How to build a community and business around running How to become a running coach even if you don’t have any coaching experience (and even if you’re not a fast runner) Links Mentioned: Run with Beth in Seattle: Running Evolution Become a running coach: Coach Running Evolution Beth on Twitter Beth on Instagram Book: Bird By Bird by Anne Lamont Thank you to our sponsors: Bissell: For the easiest and most mess-free way to bathe your dog at home go to: Bissell.
