Summary
In this episode, Stephanie Engblom shares her running journey and all the mental skills she used to shatter her very first marathon - Twin Cities Marathon in 2025. Steph and Sierra talk about finding inspiration within the community, learning that pain can be productive, and the importance of reflecting on training and race day. Steph is a mom of two and a two-time marathoner. She found running during a major weight-loss journey and it became the thing that helped her rebuild trust with her body and her mind. She’s passionate about making running feel accessible for everyday people, especially those starting from zero or coming back after years of feeling like they don’t belong in the running world. Her story is equal parts transformation and reality: slow miles, big feelings, consistency over perfection, and proof that you can change your life one run at a time. Thank you so much to Steph for taking time to share her experience and the mental skills that work for her so we can all shatter our next race!
