Running isn’t all about finish lines or finish times. At its core, it’s an opportunity to ease your mind, find peace within movement, and open yourself up to untapped possibilities. Lacing up your trainers and hitting the open road redefines your relationship with the parks, streets, and tracks around you—and with yourself. In this series, presented in partnership with New Balance, we speak with nine runners about their journeys toward cultivating a healthy mindset and identifying purpose within the run. From New York City’s Central Park to the neighborhoods of London, these are their stories.
This is the story of Jessica LeBron’s past, present, and future.
