Welcome to the Runners Connect, Run to the Top Podcast, where it's all about learning from the best minds in the sport

so you can train smarter, stay healthy, and run faster now.

And now your host, Tina Muir.

Hello, this is Tina Muir and I would like to welcome you to another episode of the Run

is Connect Run to the Top Podcast. If you are listening to this podcast, unless you are my

mom and dad, you have probably been bitten by the running bug. It can be hard to describe

and maybe you didn't see it coming just like my guess today but running is

addictive and it will change your life in ways you never imagined. Sure it does give you

toned muscles and the ability to get out of the pouring rain a little quicker.

But running gives you so much more than that.

My guest today went from running an injury plagued first marathon

to running 32 marathons all healthy and then setting up her own online training website where she coaches other runners.

There are many ways that running changes our lives for the better and, my guest and I talk about the process,

how running always gives back more than it takes,

and how perseverance can lead to your greatest accomplishments.

My guest today is Angie Spencer. Angie is the

co-founder and host of Marathon Training Academy blog and podcast which she set up with

her husband Trevor. They have three children and they are experts

at organizing their time to fit in everything they need to do. Angie graduated from Montana

State with a Bachelor's of Science and is now a registered nurse.

She is a USATF and Roadrunners Club of America certified coach

and has many clients whom she coaches from the Marathon Training Academy website.
