WRS Host Cherie Turner: Anxiety Conquered! Joyful Running Journey Update, Sept to Dec 2025

In this episode, I focus on a huge win in dealing with my anxiety around training and racing. It's opened a whole new chapter in my running journey. Healing anxiety has been a dedicated focus for the past few years, and it's resulted in some breakthrough moments over the past few months. This includes the terrific experiences I just had at my indoor track season opening races which just took place last weekend, on December 13. There, I ran the mile and the 800, my first time doubling with those two events. Hear why I had a truly remarkable time for reasons that went beyond paces and times.

Plus, a positive update on working to lower my cholesterol, and details about working with my new coach, Molly Huddle.

This episode is full of inspiration and joy.

And, this is the final episode of 2025; WRS will return in January: there are already new stories in the works. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss any of them. A very happy finish to the new year, however you celebrate. And here's to a wonderful start of 2026!
