welcomes coach, runner, race director, and community builder Christi Dee to the mic. From the very first stride of her running journey—thanks to a little “positive peer pressure”—to directing ultra marathons in Central Indiana, Christi has lived out what it means to grow in community.
Tune in as Christi shares how the supportive and vibrant Central Indiana running community helped shape her path as an athlete and leader. We dive into:
- The unexpected start to her running story
- Why Orange Theory and running clubs are more than just places to train
- How community pushes us to become better—mentally, physically, and emotionally
- The role of peer encouragement in getting started (and staying committed)
- Her involvement in organizing races like those under the Vashigamisha Track Club banner
Whether you’re new to running or years into your journey, this episode is a reminder that we are always stronger when we run together.
