33: How to Start Running (Again) with Pro Runner Kyle Merber

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Welcome friends to Episode #33 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. If you’ve been a runner, or want to run more or are curious about what it’s like to be a professional athlete, you’re in the right place. Today, I am thrilled to be sharing a conversation with you that I had with Kyle Merber, my running coach. I’ve started running about 3 months ago on a search for a 6 minute mile, starting from being a non-runner and it’s been amazing to see the results in that short period of time. A little bit about Kyle, who happens to live in the same town that I do, and his impressive list of accomplishments.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kyle Merber is a professional middle-distance runner for HOKA ONE ONE. Kyle graduated from Columbia University as a 10x Ivy League champion and the American Collegiate Record holder for 1500m. He has run 3:52 for the mile and was a member of 3 world record relay teams. While originally from Long Island, Kyle now resides in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY where he spends his free-time coaching neighbors.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to follow Kyle and reach out to him, you can find him on Instagram and Twitter at the handles below.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram: @kylemerber</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Twitter: @TheRealMerb</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">COMPLIMENTARY 1:1 LIFE DESIGN COACHING: <a class="waffle-rich-text-link" href= "https://mayempson.com/contact">https://mayempson.com/contact</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">MAY EMPSON INSTAGRAM: <a class= "waffle-rich-text-link" href= "https://www.instagram.com/mayempson">https://www.instagram.com/mayempson</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">OWN YOUR BEST LIFE FB COMMUNITY: <a class="waffle-rich-text-link" href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/ownyourbestlifepodcast">https://www.facebook.com/groups/ownyourbestlifepodcast</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">OWN YOUR BES
