Ep 54: Never Too Late - Finding Yourself Through Running, with Dr. Marion McCrary

from Mindful Marathon Podcast · host Michelle Quirk, MD

In this episode of the Mindful Marathon Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Marion McCrary, a primary care physician, national board-certified health and wellness coach, and fellow runner who didn’t lace up until her 30s. At age 42, she crossed the finish line of her very first half marathon. Dr. McCrary shares the ups and downs of her running journey, from training for three half marathons in 18 months, to taking breaks, and always finding her way back. Her story is a reminder that running doesn’t have to be perfect or all-or-nothing. For women physicians moving through burnout, her words offer encouragement: it’s never too late to begin, return, or discover yourself again through running.
