    Who is running really for? Can everyone be “a runner”?


    This week, beginner runner and performance artist Scottee joins us on The Runna Podcast the day after his first half marathon to talk running confidence, mental health, and why he almost never started.


    This is a raw, funny and honest conversation about starting running when the sport hasn’t always felt welcoming. 


    Highlights include: 

    🏃 Why running in public feels so exposing, and how Scottee pushed through it

    🧠 The mental health shift that running quietly created

    🏅 What he wishes someone had told him as a complete beginner

    💡 His honest advice to anyone who doesn't feel like a "real runner" yet


    If you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong in the running world, this episode might just change your mind. 


    🎧 Follow along for new episodes every Friday with Olympians, World Record Holders, and inspiring voices form the running community.
