Running as a Reminder with Peloton Instructor, Mariana Fernández

Sometimes, we run because we want to get stronger. And sometimes, we run because we need to remember just how strong we already are.

In this episode of In Fearless Conversation, Kim talks with Peloton instructor, Mariana Fernández about the moments when running became a reminder. A reminder of her strength, her resilience, and the person she was capable of being when she needed to hear it most.

Mariana shares the story of her mother, a trailblazing runner in Mexico who has been one of her greatest inspirations, and how her mother’s example helped shape her own journey as a woman and a runner.

She also opens up about a deeply personal chapter of her life: choosing to pursue motherhood on her own and navigating the courage, uncertainty, and strength that came with that decision.

And, Mariana is running the New York City Marathon for 261 Fearless! We talk about what this race means to her and why she wanted to run it with us!

It’s an honest conversation about the women who shape us, the moments that ask us to dig a little deeper, and how sometimes a run can give us exactly the reminder we need.

Because running is just the beginning.
