Amber Fillingim - "Say less. Give good."

Allison Gaillard Season 3 Episode 1

In the kickoff episode of Runner Story's third season, host Alison Gilliard celebrates the podcast's two-year anniversary with a special guest, Amber Fillingim.

A phenomenal runner and veteran, Amber shares her journey from hating running in the military to embracing it as a vital part of her life.

The episode underscores the importance of small acts to support veterans and military families and highlights events like the upcoming Ruck the Bay.

Amber's personal anecdotes, from directing races to memorializing fallen comrades, weave a powerful narrative around the veteran community, concluding with a heartfelt call to kindness and community support for those who have served.
