Welcome to episode 42 of the Kinda Fast Podcast, the show where we talk running, real life, and everything in between.

This week, we kick things off with a big announcement: our Couch to Half Marathon Nationwide Challenge is launching April 20th. This program takes you from the very beginning all the way to completing a half marathon, with the opportunity to graduate alongside the Upward Running community at Big Beach Marathon Weekend in January 2027. If you’ve been looking for a bigger goal than a 5K...but not quite a full marathon...this is for you.
