| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Running Explained podcast. I'm your host, Elizabeth. I'm a marathoner, coach, and answer seeker. |
| 0:07.3 | When I first started running at the age of 29, I had so many questions and what felt like nowhere to turn to for answers. |
| 0:14.2 | And now I'm here to answer all your running questions about anything that you might want to know. |
| 0:18.6 | If you're a new runner or you or even doing this for a long time, |
| 0:21.1 | there's always something more to learn about running. So let's get started. My guest this week is |
| 0:26.3 | Dr. Angie Brown, runner, coach, physical therapist, and founder of the real life runner's |
| 0:30.8 | training academy. Angie is here today in her capacity as a coach and runner, not a physical therapist, |
| 0:36.4 | because we're talking about something that is |
| 0:39.0 | vitally important to what it means to become a better runner, and that is learning how to trust |
| 0:45.1 | the process, trust the training, and trust yourself. And this is something that many runners |

| 1:31.6 | I had all these stories in my head about my ability and as a runner. |
| 1:37.3 | And definitely did not identify as a runner at all. |
| 1:41.3 | Running was just something that I had to do to condition for other sports. So the way that I |
| 1:47.0 | actually got into running was in college, I met a guy who was a runner and he actually was running. |
| 1:54.5 | He had actually just stopped running for the team at the university that we were running or that we |
| 2:00.0 | were both going to. And so he loved running. |
| 2:03.1 | Like his whole life was running. And I'm like, this guy's crazy. So essentially, he kind of got me |
