Summary
"Now more than ever is the time to learn how to be a leader for ourselves, and to learn how to handle a pivot — and thrive."
Welcome to the second episode in a four-part series called Feel-Good Fridays. (Be sure to check out the first episode, too, with therapists Jor-El Caraballo and Rachel Gersten.) These short episodes are intended to leave you feeling lighter, better, more optimistic — whether temporarily or for the rest of your life. These conversations with experts are meant to be uplifting without being fluffy or delusional. Today, running coach and 3:13 marathoner Jess Movold is here to talk about how to find meaning, purpose, and motivation on the run right now. She talks about how to connect to your "why" as a runner, and offers up some fun workouts to add to your routine. (Warning: death by burpees!)

| 0:00.0 | Feel Good Fridays on the Alley on the Run Show are brought to you by YouCan. |
| 0:08.8 | Welcome to the Alley on the Run Show. I'm your host Alley Feller and we start these |
| 0:13.4 | Feel Good Friday episodes with a big deep breath together because if you're anything like me, |
| 0:19.3 | you are currently wearing your shoulders as earrings and we need to get them down. So let's do this |
| 0:24.6 | all together. Is it weird that I do that? I'm into it. I feel better. I hope you do too. |
| 0:32.9 | My shoulders are down if only temporarily. Welcome to this week's edition of Feel Good Fridays. |
| 0:39.9 | These episodes are designed to make you feel better in some way. The goal is to offer expert |
| 0:45.5 | backed advice that's helpful in uplifting without being fluffy or too delusionally optimistic. |
| 0:51.9 | It's about controlling what we can control and making the best of where we're at. |
| 0:57.0 | Last week we kicked things off with Rachel Gerstin and Jarelle Carabello. There are |
| 1:01.6 | bests and co-founders of Viva Wellness in New York City. I hope you found something or many |
| 1:07.0 | things in that episode that resonated with you, whether it was the reassuring fact that baths |
| 1:12.3 | and sheet masks aren't for everyone or the reminder that it's okay to feel both joy and despair |
| 1:18.9 | simultaneously. This week my dear friend Jess Movold is back on the show. Jess is a running coach |
| 1:26.2 | and I wanted to bring her on to address some of the things I know many runners are feeling right now. |
| 1:31.5 | Myself included. Some people are running and crushing virtual races every weekend. Others are |
| 1:36.8 | struggling to find motivation without in-person races on the calendar. And many of us, myself included, |
| 1:44.4 | are just feeling a little lost right now both on the run and off. Jess has really good advice for |
| 1:50.2 | how to deal with that and how to set running goals that don't revolve around races, times, or |
| 1:55.6 | paces. I love that. I think it's super important. Before we get into this conversation, I want to |
| 2:01.4 | think you can for sponsoring this series. I am really proud to have a long lasting partnership with |
| 2:06.7 | you can and one thing we can all be doing right now to better take care of ourselves is to say |
