Episode 163. Embracing Your Community With Swetha Subbiah
In this latest episode of the Nike After Dark Tour series, Coach Bennett sits down with coach, community builder, and Sisters in Sweat co-founder Shwetha Subbiah to unpack how running transforms when we stop doing it alone. From leading an impromptu race warmup that led to her very first 10K to building an inclusive running movement across India, Shwetha shares how borrowing belief from a group breaks down mental barriers, empowers new runners to claim their space, and turns intimidation into joy. Plus, Coach Bennett answers a listener voicemail about trusting your training and tackling race-day pace goals.
Cheers and thank you for listening!
