79: Breaking the Cycle of Quitting: A Postpartum Journey to 26.2 w/ Erin Azar

from My First Marathon · host My First Marathon

In this episode, I chat with Erin Azar (@immrsspacecadet) about what it took to go from quitting everything she started to training for—and finishing—her first marathon. Erin opens up about running postpartum, the mental battles that came with starting from zero, and how documenting her journey online helped her stay consistent when things got hard.We talk about what it felt like to run in a body that didn’t feel like hers, how working with a coach changed her approach, and what it was like to train for a marathon during the early days of COVID. Erin also shares what finally helped her break the cycle of giving up, what fueling strategies worked (and didn’t), and how the Galloway method led to a breakthrough PR.If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, self-doubt, or starting over, this conversation is a reminder that slow progress is still progress—and it can take you farther than you think.Follow along with Erin: IG/ TikTok: @immrsspacecadet / @im.mrs.space.cadetPodcast: https://www.nonmembersonlypod.com/  Follow along with the show:👣 Personal IG/TikTok: @tay.says / @taysays🎙️ Podcast IG/TikTok: @myfirstmarathonpod📺 YouTube: @MyFirstMarathonPodcast🌐 Website & extras: myfirstmarathonpodcast.com & myfirstmarathonpodcast.com/exclusives
