Episode 204 - Running has helped Kate get through all life challenges - school, travel, work, twins…

In this episode of the podcast Kate Hiney shares her journey to becoming a runner, involving her family in her routine, and the importance of running for mental health.  Kate grew up in a sporty family that encouraged physical activity, as a result sport of some sort has always been a part of her life.  After back packing/scuba diving her way around the world for a few years, Kate (originally from the UK)  eventually settled in Australia and now lives in Tasmania with her partner and twin girls.   Running is so much a part of who she is that when she doesn’t get to lace up her shoes for a day or two she gets a feeling of unrest, like something isn’t quite right.   Running helps her be more productive in her work and gives her the patience and energy needed for her 2 year old twin girls 🙂   On top of being a mum of twins, Kate works in the mental health/disability sector and is studying to be a nurse.  Rather than being another thing to do, running helps her fit all these things into her life.  We agreed that “running should be prescribed by doctors”. :)   Kate’s Tips - get a good pair of shoes, give it a crack, don’t give up in the first K, run/walk is a good strategy, find a group to run with.
