Molly Mirhashem, an editor on the Well desk, wants to motivate readers of all ages and experience levels.<\/p>\n

Times Insider<\/a> explains who we are and what we do and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together.<\/p>\n

Molly Mirhashem is used to running around in circles \u2014 literally.<\/p>\n

Six days a week, Ms. Mirhashem runs near her home in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Much of her weekly mileage takes place on the same, roughly 3.5-mile loop of a nearby park. Her training will come in handy: This weekend, she is running the Buffalo Marathon in upstate New York. It will be her ninth time gutting out 26.2 miles since she first caught the marathon bug in 2017.<\/p>\n

Ms. Mirhashem, an editor on the Well desk covering fitness, came to The New York Times last month from Outside Magazine, where she spent eight years assigning and editing health and wellness articles, among other responsibilities.<\/p>\n

One of her goals at The Times is to reach readers who are dabbling in fitness, but want a little extra guidance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are beginners, who we often speak to, and then there are experts looking for the tiniest, marginal gain in their marathon time,\u201d she said in a recent interview. \u201cI think there is room to serve those readers in the middle ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Here, Ms. Mirhashem shares what motivates her to hit the ground running \u2014 in her new job, that is \u2014 and the biggest challenges of the fitness beat. These are edited excerpts.<\/p>\n

Were you always interested in fitness?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a lifelong runner. I started running in youth track and field, and stuck with it through high school. I ran track and cross-country in college, and then tried marathons after that.<\/p>\n
