Introducing the No Gimmicks Just Sweat Podcast!

On this episode, meet India Cook. India is an avid Atlanta based runner, YouTube vlogger, podcast host, RRCA certified run coach and advocate for all paces and body types. She loves running and racing, but also has a passion for encouraging and guiding runners and those who aspire to become runners. India coaches independently and is also a run coach with a non-profit organization called A.R.C. (Active Resolute Connected) that empowers women through running and helps to break mental and physical barriers. India started running in 2008 on the quest to lose weight and also engage in a healthy social activity. India jumped into running by signing up for her first race, The Peachtree Road Race. In 2017, India ran her first full marathon in Chicago, Illinois. Within the process of training for her half marathon, India observed that many ladies wanted to know more about her journey to her first full marathon. Therefore, India developed a vlog to document her journey on Facebook called Miles From India. India wanted to continue to give back to the running community; consequently, on June 30, 2020, she launched Miles From India on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/c/milesfromindia), which educates, inspires, and motivates current runners and those that aspire to be runners. To date, India has completed two full marathons, 16 half marathons, and countless 5ks and 10k’s. Since 2018, this journey has allowed her to be a podcast host of The Run Duo Podcast (https://linktr.ee/Therunduo) with her co-host Tommy Mitchell, as they interview runners while educating and entertaining listeners by talking about all things running. India’s goal is to make the sport less intimidating and relatable for her listeners and viewers. India continues to use her voice and grow herself and others in the community of running. Her website is https://www.milesfromindia.com/ and you can find her on Instagram at @i_of_endigo_runs.
