About this listen
In the fourth episode of At Your Own Pace, host MikeRunsMarathons sits down with runner and teacher Jess Lindeman (@runner_jessss) to explore a journey built on patience, authenticity, and belief. Jess shares how she went from being a novice runner to qualifying for the Boston Marathon, and how time, consistency, and mindset played a bigger role than any single breakthrough workout.
The conversation dives into the mental battles runners face, the power of positive self-talk, and the importance of not comparing your path to anyone else’s. Jess reflects on balancing teaching with training, creating authentic content in a noisy social media space, and why motivating others matters more than influencing them. At its core, this episode is a reminder that running should be joyful, that community support is essential, and that every experience—good or bad—offers something worth learning from as long as you keep moving forward.
