#298 – Progress Doesn’t Always Look Like Progress



Welcome To Another Week Of The Show: What does progress look like when you’re recovering from surgery, changing your nutrition, and building a nonprofit? In Episode #298 of the Run To The Best You Podcast, Coach Tadris shares how walking instead of running has become part of his recovery, why losing nearly 20 pounds has been about much more than the number on the scale, and how the Run To The Best You Summer Community Impact Campaign is helping remove barriers so more people can improve their health through movement, mindset, and community. Whether you’re in a season of recovery or simply looking for encouragement to keep moving forward, this episode is a reminder that every step counts.


I am Coach Tadris, founder of Run To The Best You. Since 2013, we have helped people of all ages, sizes, and abilities improve their health, build confidence, and discover the best version of themselves through movement, mindset, and community support. As a nonprofit, our mission is to make walking, running, and wellness accessible to everyone.
