#308 - What Movement Gave Us | Tadris Parker



Movement has been part of my story for a long time — from finding running in high school, to coming back to it throughout adulthood, to the injury that eventually helped lead me to start Run to the Best You. In this week’s episode, I’m kicking off our What Movement Gave Us series by sharing my own story and how movement became much more than exercise — it became confidence, recovery, community, and ultimately a mission.


🎧Press play and think about this question: What has movement given you?

Keep Calm And Run To The Best You! - Coach Tadris 






Hosted by Coach Tadris Parker, Keep Calm And Run To The Best You (The Podcast) is a source of steady encouragement for anyone looking to transform their health and discover the joy of running. For more than ten years, Tadris has specialized in guiding people through weight loss and preparing them for their first charitable 5k, building a foundation that often leads to incredible achievements like completing runDisney events and international marathons. This podcast extends that same personal coaching philosophy into your ears, offering practical advice, mindset shifts, and honest conversations about the journey from the couch to the finish line. You’ll hear stories of perseverance, breakdowns of training principles without the jargon, and straightforward strategies to build consistency. The core idea is simple yet profound: the best way to predict your future is to create it yourself, one step at a time. Each episode is designed to meet you where you are, providing that nudge of motivation to lace up your shoes and keep moving forward, integrating fitness into a sustainable, rewarding part of your life. It’s not about instant transformations, but about the cumulative power of showing up for yourself. Tune in for a blend of heart, experience, and actionable guidance that makes the path to your best self feel not only possible but exciting.
