Maggie Shreve - "You will never regret a run that you do"

Run Your Story Podcast

Maggie shares her running journey, including starting in fifth grade, taking a break in college, and eventually getting back into running through a trail run where she unexpectedly won first place in her age group.
Maggie shares her favorite running memory, which involves running a 5k with her younger brother and engaging in a fierce sprint to the finish line. She also mentions a forthcoming race they plan to run together, teasing a potential rivalry.
Maggie’s favorite race distance is the 5K, which she finds fast, fun, and easy to pace. For longer training runs, she prefers distances around eight miles, as it strikes a balance between being a challenging run and manageable in terms of time and effort.
Maggie also mentions her interest in cooking and how it serves as a therapeutic activity for her. She enjoys preparing food that fuels her running efforts. Maggie encourages newcomers to running to consider joining running groups, highlighting the supportive and inclusive nature of these communities. She emphasizes that there are groups for all paces and that group runs can make the running experience more enjoyable.
