Hi Adventurers! I'd love for you to meet Jill Angie. If you haven't already heard of this remarkable woman, ya gotta. Let's let Jill introduce herself...

I’m Jill Angie, the founder and Head Rebel of Not Your Average Runner. When I first started running over 20 years ago, all I wanted to do was burn calories and lose weight. And I hated every minute of it. It felt like punishment and I was always frustrated and disappointed.

In 2009 I decided to stop thinking about running as a means to an end and started using it as a tool to build up my strength and confidence. That mental shift got me through all the times when running wasn’t easy (and there were a lot of those times)!

I became a triathlete. I ran half marathons. I became a personal trainer with my own studio. And I noticed that as vast as the running community was, there weren’t a lot of people out there who looked like me.

I knew how awesome running made me feel, and I wanted to help other women like me get the same benefit – not just improved fitness, but increased self-confidence and self-love. So I wrote a book and became a running and life coach! I love coaching and I love seeing so many women join our #NotYourAverageRunner movement, and I’m incredibly honored to support women like you who want to change their lives through running.

Please support Jill by buying her book, or join her coaching program #RunYourBestLife. Definitely consider joining her Not Your Average Runner Facebook group, where you'll find lots of supportive new friends.
