- This week we cover our most favorite topic. A listener requested topic! We opened the floor up to our Facebook page to see what folks had on their minds, and came up with this weeks episode. We're not all elite level. We don't all have that runners physique. Does that make us any less of a runner? Nope! Let's talk about impostor syndrome and how that relates to the running world.

Thank you, Kyle, for talking about this. I struggle with imposter syndrome in many areas of life especially in relationships and professionally. It's not easy and a constant battle. One thing that has helped is to remind myself to accept compliments for what they are not doubt that someone is just lying to me. It's not easy in the moment but I try my best to catch it.
LOVED this subject! Also, what a journey you have been on, Kyle! So many great stories out there to how we came to running and yours is an inspiration! Thank you for this podcast!
This may be one of your best episodes. Great topic and great examples.
This is probably one of my favorite episodes also! Training for my first full and you made me feel better about training ! Thank you for this episode.. well all of your episodes!

Luckily I've avoided imposter syndrome, though many people probably think I should have it. That said, as a permanent back of the packer, I'm never going to get mistaken for the gazelle. I lean into it. I'm good with it. There's usually somebody behind me. Very rarely have I been the absolute last place in a race (DFL), but I do have three medals from races where I was, in fact, DFL. I still beat all the people that stayed home, and I beat every version of me that gave up along the way. My very first half marathon was DFL, and I still remember that race fondly and talk about it with my buddies. That medal is hanging beside my unicorn.
You deserve to be there. Whoever you are, and I'm honored to be on the course with you.
