    Excerpt · English

    When personal trainer and strength coach Lauren Pak, cofounder of Theory of Motion, tells runners to train their core “like an athlete, not an influencer,” she gets the irony. As someone with a fitness app, nearly 200,000 YouTube subscribers, and 1.4 million followers on Instagram, she does her fair share of influencing. The difference is views and likes don’t dictate her workouts. Function does. “With influencers, or just social media in general, it tends to be more about what you look like, or

    There’s a mountain of research to back up all the ways in which running can better your physical and mental health.

    ‘After 30 Years Away From Running, I Became a Sub-3-Hour Marathoner at 60. These Training Changes Made Me Faster.’ (opens the original)

    I remember when running 10 miles seemed out of the question. It was October 2021, and my friend Rachel “Rae” Butz, who I know through the Nazareth, Pennsylvania, school district where I work in the IT department, invited me to join her running group, Breakfast Club Runners (BCR). My son was her student, and he had mentioned to her that I’d started running again for the first time in 30 years.
