Hey gang, welcome, welcome, welcome to the Run Selfie Repeat Podcast, where we talk

about life with a side of running, but today is going to be a lot of running, a lot of

running talk. Actually, so much running talk that most people don't want to hear. I'm

Kelly Roberts. I am the founder of the badass lady gang in the sports broad squad, and

I'm the head coach of the badass lady gang as well. And as head coach, I wanted to take

this episode today specifically to deep dive something that I know everybody doesn't want

to talk about. They don't want to address. And whether that's because you're a brand

new runner, who genuinely doesn't know what to expect and doesn't know what you're doing,

and everything's huge and intimidating, and exciting and overwhelming, or you're an

established runner who's been running for a while. And you just have never had anyone

explain to you how to get back into a training cycle or how to like safely adjust a training

plan to start where you are. You've probably heard me as a coach, if you are on the team

or have you done a training experience with me, or if you follow me on Instagram, you've

heard me say, start from where you are. Start from where you are. Start from where you

are. Start from where you are. But what exactly does that mean? That's what we're discussing

today. Because if there is one thing I can say for certain, it is that almost everybody

I coach, not everybody, but most people genuinely don't know how to start from where they are

because they don't know where they are. And that's totally okay. It's okay. That's why

we're here. We're all here to learn. I have a very specific coaching style. I do group

coaching. So I very rarely do one-on-one coaching because in my eyes, I think it's the

most transformative, fun, effective way to coach people is to get them together and to

learn together. It is so much more fun to be on a team and to train with a team virtually.
