Her favorite running distance is the half marathon (13.1 miles/21 kilometers). www.instagram.com/thecookierunner/ www.thecookierunner.net About Shelby: Shelby Schmidt is not a born-and-raised runner. In fact, she didn’t discover her passion for running until her early twenties and never looked back. A few years ago she decided to take her passion and make it her career. Not as a professional runner, but as a running coach. As co-host on the "Time for bRUNch" podcast she gets to help athletes, interview runners of all levels, and hang out with her BRFs (Best Running Friends) on and off the run. With the drive to make all runners feel welcomed, celebrate uniqueness, and share the love of movement, it’s become the long run of a lifetime. www.instagram.com/runningschmidt www.instagram.com/timeforbrunchpodcast www.timeforbrunch.com
