Kinda Our First Guest: Karen Huminski on Running, Faith & Starting Again

Kinda Fast Podcast by Upward Running

Episode notes

In this special episode of the Kinda Fast Podcast, Claire welcomes her very first guest...her mom, Karen Huminski...for an honest, hope-filled conversation about running, faith, and starting again.

Karen shares her journey of returning to running later in life, learning to trust a training plan, and preparing for the Chicago Marathon at 65.
