The RMA Podcast. Episode 53. Lessons from the back of the pack, plus finding community and purpose. With Michelle Dzeigo

On Episode 53 you will meet a vibrant, energetic and fun person, Michelle Dziego. I am not sure that you would ever meet someone so community-minded and passionate about connecting people. 

Michelle came to running later in life when she was introduced to parkrun, then RMA. Since then she has found a community of like-minded women to network with and support their running adventures. 

As you will hear in this episode, running isn't always about times and pace, but more about the places, people and experiences that it connects us to; something that Michelle has discovered along the way. 

Michelle lives in South Australia, and is an integral part of the RMA network there, and volunteers her time as a parkrun Event Ambassador, and an RMA Community Ambassador, regularly gathering the RMA tribe in SA each week for local runs, or volunteering at events around her state with other RMA ladies! You may meet her on the finish line, either dressed up in theme or with her bright friendly smile. She is also studying her Certificate 3 & 4 in Fitness so that she can help and encourage other women to be fit and active! 

We chat to Michelle about what running was like for her when she started to now, and what it feels like to be at the back of the pack. You might just discover, that this is the place where most of the magic happens, and the fun begins. 

You can follow on Michelle's running adventures on instagram at @mad_about_running or join her in the RMA South Australian network!
