Cardio Queens: How to Make Running Your Reset Button
Running can be one of the most empowering, therapeutic forms of movement, but too often, it’s seen as something only for "athletes." The truth is, running is for anyone with a pair of sneakers and a reason to move. It doesn’t matter how fast you go, how far you run, or what your form looks like. What matters is showing up, especially when it’s for yourself.
If you’ve never run before or have struggled in the past, start with a simple walk-jog interval. Try alternating one minute of light jogging with two minutes of walking for 20 minutes. It’s not about pushing yourself to exhaustion. It’s about building endurance in a way that feels sustainable. Over time, your breath will get steadier, your legs stronger, and your mind clearer.
Many women find running becomes more than just physical exercise. It turns into a moving meditation—a way to process thoughts, release stress, and reconnect with your body. Whether it’s a sunrise jog or a late-night loop around the block, running gives you space to breathe and be. Add a motivating playlist or podcast, and the miles fly by.
Most importantly, running is yours. You don’t need a race or a finish line to call yourself a runner. You just need to move forward at your pace, in your way. Let it be messy, let it be hard, but let it be yours.
