We runners need support to be our absolute best, whether it comes from family, friends, teammates or coaches. It takes a village to raise a runner! While there are countless supportive loved ones cheering us on and enabling us to pursue our big goals, not everyone we love gets this whole running thing. Even some people who once were all-in with our running sometimes change as our relationships and lives change. That’s why we want to hear both great tales of support and tales of how other loved one’s lack of support has affected you.

We want to hear from you:

Stories about others’ support and lack of support for your running.

✬And as always, join us on Twitter every Monday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern for #SaltyChat to discuss the day’s Readers Roundtable topic and more!✬
