Your Race Your Pace

Send us Fan Mail We talk with Crystal Aguilar about using running and walking as a steady practice that supports mental health and recovery, especially when motivation is low and life feels out of control. Crystal shares how community, core values, and the courage to restart can turn isolation into connection and help people believe change is possible. • assessing readiness and motivation before building a plan • starting small with one slow mile and progressing gradually • treating walking as equally valid and showing up consistently • restarting after a pacemaker and asking others to match your pace • seeing people transform through treatment and follow-through • using accountability, stewardship, faith and recovery as a framework • three practical steps for mental health: reach out, find a hobby, remember you are not alone • avoiding social media comparison and choosing authenticity • finding local running clubs and beginner-friendly events like parkrun And if you haven't listened to part one, then please do go back in our catalogue and have a listen to part one.
