In this episode of She Says It, host Madeline Sargent sits down with Alison Heilig—founder of Miles To Go Athletics and creator of the Age Athletically Method.

Sunday Session: Running for Joy Reflection

In this Sunday Session of She Says It, host Madeline shares a reflection from a 12K race she ran yesterday in Tacoma, Washington. What started as a strong run along the water quickly turned into a mental and physical challenge when she hit a steep hill that even experienced runners were walking. Determined to keep running, she pushed until her body asked for something different, and in that moment, she had to confront what it means to keep going, what it means to pause, and whether either of those things means quitting at all. This episode is for you if you need to learn how to stay present in hard moments. It’s also about training for a half marathon, listening to your body, and finding unexpected moments of joy in the middle of effort, discomfort, and doubt. Madeline is the founder of MadlyCreative, where she works with women in society building brands, stories, and creative direction rooted in clarity and voice.
