In this episode of Essential Wellness, Dr. Mikel Segal sits down with Dr. Michelle Quirk — pediatrician, running coach, and founder of Mindful Marathon.
✨ Once someone who “hated running,” Dr. Quirk discovered it as a therapeutic outlet after losing her father and experiencing burnout. She started with just 5 minutes around the block, and step by step transformed her life.
Today, she helps runners of all levels, from beginners to Boston qualifiers, find joy and freedom through running.
💡 Her top 3 tips for beginners: ✔️ Start with what you enjoy 🥳 ✔️ Go slow + build gradually ✔️ Invest in proper running shoes
Dr. Quirk’s message is clear: Running is for everyone. Start small, stay consistent, and let it transform your wellness journey.
