144. How to Build Speed, Strength, and Confidence as a Runner

In this episode, Jenna and Reilly are joined by runner and coach Karis Myers to talk about what it really looks like to build speed, strength, and confidence as a runner. Karis shares from both her own experience in the sport and her work coaching other athletes, breaking down training, smart progression, and mindset all play a role in long term success. They dig into common misconceptions around getting faster, why confidence is often missing from training conversations, and how runners can approach their goals in a way that supports both performance and health.
