In this episode of The Runna Podcast, we sit down with Kayla Jeter - NEW Runna Coach, sports psychologist, ultramarathoner, and the powerhouse behind 100 Miles of Summer, the global running movement followed by hundreds of thousands.

A former Division I volleyball standout, her path shifted after a career-changing ACL injury, the loss of both parents, and the heavy reality of stepping away from the sport that once defined her.

What began as running to explore a new city became running for community and purpose - and ultimately a mission to help others grow inside and out.

Kayla’s “1% Better Every Day” mindset, brings empathy, energy, and sports psychology to empower runners to pursue progress over perfection.
