I have 8 weeks of podcast episodes that will guide and distract you through those first two months of running. (You can download my free 8K Become A Runner Plan Here) The hardest part about becoming a runner isn't that first run. It's sticking with it. I asked the Badass Lady Gang what clicked for them.
