Katie Holmes: The Life-Changing Power of Running, After 40

Women's Running Stories

Katie Holmes started running in her 40s: she's since become a runner and racer of many distances over many types of terrain. She's also a women's running historian and she blogs about masters runners: see her writing on RunYoung50.co.uk.

Through running, Katie has discovered interests and abilities she never knew she had before. In short, the sport has been life changing.

And now, Katie is focused on an event that joins both her passion for running and her passion for women's running history.

In this episode, hear the whole story: how Katie first discovered her interest in running; how that led to her racing just about every type of race available in the sport; on to her starting a blog dedicated to stories of older women runners, and then women's running history; to today, when she's combining her passions for the sport after a period of grief and time away from running due to injury.

Katie Holmes's story clearly demonstrates it is truly never too late to discover new passions and new powerful parts of yourself.
