About this listen
In this episode of At Your Own Pace, host MikeRunsMarathons welcomes Hillary Burgess, a lifelong runner and passionate advocate for the running community, to share a journey shaped by growth, honesty, and resilience. From childhood runs to recent marathon experiences, Hillary reflects on how running has evolved alongside her life—and how mental health, mindset, and support systems have played a major role in staying in the sport.
The conversation explores the mental battles runners face, the impact of self-doubt, and why setting realistic, incremental goals can lead to meaningful breakthroughs. Hillary also speaks to the importance of authenticity on social media, the unique challenges faced by female runners, and the power of community in helping runners feel seen and supported. At its core, this episode is a reminder that running is about more than pace or placement—it’s about learning from the journey, finding joy in the process, and embracing your own path, wherever it may lead.
