Start at One Mile with Mirna Valerio

Mirna is an ultra runner, mountain biker, blogger, author, Mom, and so much more. She started Fat Girl Running, which is about her experiences as a larger woman in a world of thinner athletes. She has completed 14 ultramarathons and has quite a few more slated for the near future. 

You may have seen Mirna's athletic story in the WSJ, Runner's World, on the NBC Nightly News, CNN, and/or The CW Network. REI also produced a short documentary about Mirna, The Mirnavator, that went viral. Her writing has been featured in Women's Running Magazine, Self Magazine Online, Outside Online, and Runner's World Magazine. She was also chosen as a 2018 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year.

I just recently met Mirna when she was a Keynote speaker at Refuel, a conference I created in which we quickly mention. In this episode, we talk about how she trained Will Smith for his first race, what people can do when they don't know how to start an exercise program and what to say to yourself when you feel negative energy from others.     

If you are struggling with getting your engine started or need some extra motivation to keep going, then I highly suggest you check out this episode.
