Our Editor's Take

Not Your Average Runner, A Running Podcast, promises listeners something in the first episode. Jill Angie, the host, says after eight weeks of listening, listeners can call themselves runners. With the help of eight short running lesson episodes, audiences can get started. Jill says that even people who feel too old, too slow, or too heavy will be able to adopt this sport. It's her mission to help them overcome their limitations and fall in love with running.

Jill is confident in this promise because she's been through the same journey. She started running at the age of 29 (she's now over 50) when she wasn't even close to a size six (and still isn't). She tried to use the sport as a way to lose weight, but every moment felt like a punishment. Every run seemed more frustrating than the one before. The only thing that helped was to change her way of thinking. In 2009, Jill decided she was not going to try to lose weight anymore. She'd use running to build her strength and confidence instead. With this positive attitude, Jill was able to run half marathons and triathlons. She wrote three books about running, became a personal trainer, and decided to start a podcast. Not Your Average Runner, A Running Podcast is the result.

So what happens after those first eight weeks of the podcast? Once listeners get comfortable with running, Jill wants them to foster that passion. Not Your Average Runner, A Running Podcast is also good for experienced runners.

Each episode of Not Your Average Runner, A Running Podcast is valuable. Jill interviews her friends from the running world. These influential people share their experiences and expertise to help motivate listeners. They talk about things like the correct running form to how to establish attainable goals. They discuss menopause and weight loss surgery and how that affects training. Jill also gives her opinions on whatever gear or gadget might help listeners. She even shares about the podcasts, food, or books she's currently interested in. Her main goal is to keep her audience excited and positive about running.
