S3 EP2 – Normalising Slow Running, Being Single at 30 & Sobriety with Jenny Mannion (@jennyyyy_fit)
Running doesn’t have to be fast to be powerful and Jenny Mannion is here to change the way we think about pace, progress, and purpose.
Founder of Runners and Stunners, a community created to make running more inclusive and supportive for women, Jenny shares her journey from weight training to running, and how community, mindset, and mental health shaped her love for the sport.
In this episode, we talk about:
* Why not every run has to be fast to be FANTASTIC
* Being single, independent and fighting comparison in your 30s
* Jenny’s experience almost DNF-ing New York Marathon
* Sobriety and how it can impactsyour relationship with fitness and yourself
* Casually signing up for a 50K ultra marathon?!
* Normalizing slow running and focusing on YOUR pace
* Community and friendships being the KEY to a sustainable healthy lifestyle
* Female safety, confidence, and how to run in Winter
Jenny reminds us that the training journey matters more than race day, that slower runners belong just as much as anyone else, and that personal achievements are never defined by pace.
