As a network broadcaster for this year's New York City Marathon, my favorite Peloton Tread Instructor Becs Gentry shared a simple yet powerful message: "Forward is a Pace." 

In the world of running, it's easy to compare ourselves to others. We often get caught up in trying to run faster or beat someone else. But Bec's reminder is clear: when it comes to running, what truly matters is moving forward.

It doesn't matter if the person next to you is running faster or slower. What's important is that you're making progress, one step at a time. Whether your goal is to improve your speed, complete a marathon, or just enjoy a regular run, moving forward is the key.

So, the next time you go for a run, keep "Forward is a Pace" in mind. Focus on your own journey, set personal goals, and celebrate your progress. Whether you're running to get in shape, clear your mind, or achieve a specific goal, remember that as long as you're moving forward, you're doing great.

Best wishes on your running journey, where forward truly is the perfect pace.
