What happens when running becomes more than a sport?

This week, Nicky sits down with Claire Boyce, host of the Kind of Fast Podcast and part of the team behind Upward Running, a faith-based running community helping people discover connection, purpose, and confidence through movement.

Claire shares her journey from collegiate running struggles and seasons of self-doubt to finding her identity beyond race results. Together, they explore the parallels between faith and running, the power of community, learning to trust the process, and why our worth can never be measured by a finish time.

Whether you're chasing a PR, rebuilding after a difficult chapter, or simply looking for your people, this conversation is a reminder that some of life's biggest transformations happen one step at a time.

In this episode:

  • Finding your worth beyond performance
  • How faith and running can strengthen each other
  • The role of community in healing and growth
  • Claire's journey through difficult relationships and personal rebuilding
  • Why "learning to hurt" can be a powerful lesson on the run and in life
  • Helping new runners go from the couch to the finish line

Because sometimes the most important race isn't the one on the course, it's the one happening within us. 

Guest: Claire Boyce, host of Kind of Fast Podcast and team member at Upward Running.
