"I Was a Runner the Moment I Started Running" | Why Running Is for Everybody With Tatiana Forbes

Tatiana Forbes started running postpartum in 2023, unable to run for more than 30 seconds. She joined us on The Runna Podcast after crossing the finish line of the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon.

Anya Culling and Kayla Jeter sit down with runner, content creator, and founder of the Best for Last Run Club. The self-proclaimed 'slow runner' shares the struggle of being left behind at a run club, and not seeing herself in the runners around her.

Tatiana will help you answer the question most beginner runners quietly ask themselves: am I actually a runner? Tatiana's answer - and her journey to get there - is worth hearing.
