Hellooooo from the My First Marathon Podcast!

Hi friends!! I'm Taylor, a RRCA-certified running coach and host of the My First Marathon Podcast 👋

I often joke on the show that my life existed before and after I ran a marathon, and I believe that wholeheartedly. I’m an ex-competitive softball player who lost my way after losing my mentor and coach tragically and suddenly to cancer right before starting my college career, which sent my entire sense of purpose into a spiral.

For years after, I searched and searched for a way to scratch the itch that sports had filled my entire life. It wasn’t until taking a leap of faith and training for my first half marathon that I started to feel like myself again.

Since then, I’ve run 10+ half marathons, 5 marathons, and several smaller races in between. I’m passionate about first-time marathoners because I truly believe there is magic on the other side of proving to yourself that you are capable of so much more than you think!

If you’re a fan of the show, a running friend, or just finding me for the first time, I want you to know how grateful I am that you’re here and that you’re taking this chance on yourself. I can promise you, and so can all of the other wonderful mentors on this page, that you will never regret pouring into yourself by taking this chance.

Can’t wait to see what you do.

-Taylor 🧡
