Karly Borden: This Is My Body. This Is My Home. (E3)

Karly Borden of The Public Run Club talks with me about her role in my healing process, our trip to Tanzania and why coaching runners into a new relationship with their bodies is her passion. She has challenged me to take this quirky new body I have and make it my home.

Karly Borden's Bio:
I'm the coach and founder of The Public Run Club. I currently live in Santa Barbara, California, which is where I attended college, ran cross-country for my school, completed my first marathon, and where I began recovery from disordered eating and exercise compulsion. During this time, all of my treatment centered on establishing a new relationship with food, and exactly zero involved creating a new relationship with exercise. Over the next 12 years, through several types of therapy, personal study, and story-telling with peers, I worked towards health that not only tolerated movement but embraced it as an integral part of my wholeness. After coaching friends and family for years, I decided to put my own training front and center and became a certified RRCA coach in 2016 with the ultimate goal of creating a running club to help women proactively untangle from a complicated relationship with exercise and their bodies. We’re now a global group of women who are turning towards the stories of our bodies using running as our lens.
