Being a Running Influencer Is Weird: Murder Mystery Podcasts & Bald-Headed Scallawags — with Erica Kennedy aka @inmyrunningerica
In this episode, I sit down with running creator Erica Kennedy, who shares the real, funny, and deeply human side of life as a runner. Erica began running as a way to escape an abusive marriage, and what started as time out of the house became something much bigger. Through running, she found healing, independence, and a powerful connection to competing with herself. Today, she uses humor and relatability to build community and show that running isn’t just about pace or mileage. It’s about survival, growth, and joy.
We Talk About:
-balancing running and family life
-running as black woman in a predominately white sport
-getting inspiration
-the humor in running
-finding the right running shoe
