A podcast by carrie bradley - sponsored by run like a girl.

We’re here to inspire you to start imperfectly and encourage you to keep going.

Runner, perfection doesn’t exist. Start where you are and if you’re plucky you’ll go far.

What if you could be plucky? That means having determined courage in the face of difficulty.

Tune into the Plucky Not Perfect podcast for personal stories of perseverance in running, endurance sports, and life. Whether a beginner or an ultra athlete, we hope you’ll be uplifted by these relatable stories and empowered with practical tips.

Coach Carrie, your host, shares 30+ years of competitive running experience, offering mindset and training tips to empower your steps.

This podcast is for you if you:

  • Feel “not good enough” when you compare yourself to other runners, or even the athlete you once were, or would like to be.

  • Wonder if you’re “too much”: too fat, too old, too slow, too busy, too much…

  • Suspect you’re “not a real runner,” (whatever that is. If you run, you’re a runner).

  • Feel a little ashamed you’re not more consistent, or you don’t always love running.

  • Doubt you’ll ever get to that goal you dream about,

This is NOT a podcast for those perfect people, whoever they are.


We’re glad you’re here. Take a look around, book a coaching session, or get in touch and say hey.

Cheers to being plucky, not perfect.
