The PKS Running Club

When the thoughts get louder, it doesn’t mean you’re off track.On day 17 of RED January, resistance takes on a new shape: not in the legs, but in the mind. Today’s reflection explores the voice of negotiation — the subtle, reasonable-sounding thoughts that ask, “Can I skip today? Haven’t I done enough?”This isn’t a sign that you’re losing commitment. It’s a sign that the habit has become real enough to resist. The work now isn’t about arguing with your thoughts — it’s about hearing them, and continuing anyway.You don’t need quiet to keep going. You just need to not let the noise lead.About the HostThe PKS Running Club is run by Paul (PKSRUNS) — a runner and creator who believes that running doesn’t have to be extreme, perfect, or impressive to matter.Paul started running later in life and has built his way to a 2:45 marathon, not through shortcuts or hype, but through consistency, patience, and learning how to fit running around real life — work, family, tired legs, busy heads.The PKSRUNS podcast is a space for honest reflections on running, training, discipline, doubt, and progress. Some episodes are practical. Some are reflective.

Resistance doesn’t mean something’s wrong — it means you’re still here.Around day sixteen of RED January, the rhythm often shifts. The novelty has faded. Enthusiasm has stepped back. And what’s left is effort — quiet, persistent effort. This episode explores resistance — not as failure or fatigue, but as the normal friction of continuing something that matters.You don’t need to push harder. You don’t need to feel inspired. You just need to show up, even when the shine has worn off. Not to prove anything. Just because you said you would.That’s what continuing looks like.About the HostThe PKS Running Club is run by Paul (PKSRUNS) — a runner and creator who believes that running doesn’t have to be extreme, perfect, or impressive to matter.Paul started running later in life and has built his way to a 2:45 marathon, not through shortcuts or hype, but through consistency, patience, and learning how to fit running around real life — work, family, tired legs, busy heads.The PKSRUNS podcast is a space for honest reflections on running, training, discipline, doubt, and progress.

Halfway isn’t a verdict — it’s just where you are.Day fifteen of RED January. Yes, you’re halfway through — but that doesn’t mean it’s time to review, reassess, or push harder. Today’s reflection offers a gentle reminder: the middle doesn’t require anything new. No extra motivation. No big insight. Just continued presence.This episode explores the quiet shift that happens around now — when enthusiasm fades, and habit takes over. Not with hype, but with honesty. The run is no longer new. You’re no longer proving anything. You’re just here. Still showing up.Let the middle be what it is. That’s enough.About the HostThe PKS Running Club is run by Paul (PKSRUNS) — a runner and creator who believes that running doesn’t have to be extreme, perfect, or impressive to matter.Paul started running later in life and has built his way to a 2:45 marathon, not through shortcuts or hype, but through consistency, patience, and learning how to fit running around real life — work, family, tired legs, busy heads.The PKSRUNS podcast is a space for honest reflections on running, training, discipline, doubt, and progress.

Two weeks in — and still here.Today isn’t about celebration or analysis. It’s about quiet recognition. You’ve shown up — again and again — for 14 days. Not perfectly. Not dramatically. Just consistently enough that it’s starting to feel like part of your day. That matters.In this reflection, we explore what it means to stay — not out of hype, but habit. When the noise settles, and running stops being a project and starts becoming a practice, something subtle shifts. And that shift is worth noticing.Still here. Still moving. That’s enough.About the HostThe PKS Running Club is run by Paul (PKSRUNS) — a runner and creator who believes that running doesn’t have to be extreme, perfect, or impressive to matter.Paul started running later in life and has built his way to a 2:45 marathon, not through shortcuts or hype, but through consistency, patience, and learning how to fit running around real life — work, family, tired legs, busy heads.The PKSRUNS podcast is a space for honest reflections on running, training, discipline, doubt, and progress.

Not automatic. Not effortless. Just familiar.By now, RED January might not feel new — and that’s the point. Around day 13, something starts to settle. You’re no longer deciding from scratch each morning. The internal negotiation quiets. Running starts to feel like a part of your day — not a debate.In today’s reflection, we explore this turning point: when the practice becomes friendly, familiar, and a little less dramatic. You don’t need motivation. You don’t need belief. You just keep the door open — and walk through it again.That’s enough.About the HostThe PKS Running Club is run by Paul (PKSRUNS) — a runner and creator who believes that running doesn’t have to be extreme, perfect, or impressive to matter.Paul started running later in life and has built his way to a 2:45 marathon, not through shortcuts or hype, but through consistency, patience, and learning how to fit running around real life — work, family, tired legs, busy heads.The PKSRUNS podcast is a space for honest reflections on running, training, discipline, doubt, and progress.

Boredom isn’t failure — it’s part of the terrain.By day twelve of RED January, things might be feeling a bit… dull. The route is familiar, your body knows what to do, and the novelty has worn off. But boredom isn’t a problem — it’s just what happens when the noise drops and routine settles in.In this episode, we explore how boredom often signals a shift — from running as stimulation to running as quiet, steady practice. You don’t need to fight the feeling or find a deeper meaning. Let the run be uneventful. Let your mind wander (or not). Just keep moving.Boredom doesn’t mean it’s not working. It means you’re still here — and that matters.About the HostThe PKS Running Club is run by Paul (PKSRUNS) — a runner and creator who believes that running doesn’t have to be extreme, perfect, or impressive to matter.Paul started running later in life and has built his way to a 2:45 marathon, not through shortcuts or hype, but through consistency, patience, and learning how to fit running around real life — work, family, tired legs, busy heads.The PKSRUNS podcast is a space for honest reflections on running, training, discipline, doubt, and progress.

You don’t need to want it. You just need to begin.By day eleven of RED January, the motivation may have faded, the novelty is gone — and what’s left is a simple, daily choice: do I go out today or not? This reflection is about doing it anyway — not out of hype or willpower, but out of quiet practicality.Some of the most valuable runs come on days like this — when you’re not inspired, but you go anyway. Not because it feels good, but because you’ve stopped waiting for it to. No drama. No perfect mood. Just forward motion.Let that be enough.About the HostThe PKS Running Club is run by Paul (PKSRUNS) — a runner and creator who believes that running doesn’t have to be extreme, perfect, or impressive to matter.Paul started running later in life and has built his way to a 2:45 marathon, not through shortcuts or hype, but through consistency, patience, and learning how to fit running around real life — work, family, tired legs, busy heads.The PKSRUNS podcast is a space for honest reflections on running, training, discipline, doubt, and progress.

It doesn’t have to feel special to matter.By day ten, you’ve likely entered the quiet middle — that unglamorous stretch where the initial energy has faded, and the finish line is still far off. Today’s reflection sits right in that space.This episode reminds us that not every run brings clarity, transformation, or even satisfaction. Some runs just happen — and that’s exactly the point. Because real, lasting change doesn’t come from the high points. It comes from returning, again and again, even when there’s no highlight to hold onto.Let today be plain. Let it be unremarkable.

Not every run needs to feel meaningful — it just needs to happen.By day nine, you might notice your mind beginning to question the process. Is this doing anything? Was that run even worth it? Should it feel like more? Today’s reflection invites you to let those thoughts come... and go.This episode is a reminder that ordinary runs — the ones without drama, milestones, or big emotional takeaways — are not just valid. They’re essential. This is what sustainable running looks like: repeatable, unremarkable, and quietly powerful.Let today be simple.

When motivation fades, familiarity takes over.By day eight, the spark of starting has often dimmed. There's no ceremony, no special buzz — just real life returning, and running becoming part of it. Today’s reflection acknowledges that quiet transition: when motivation softens, but the practice keeps going.This episode explores how movement can still matter — even when it doesn’t feel exciting. It’s about letting the run be ordinary, undramatic, and repeatable. Because RED January was never built on hype — it was built on gentle return.Let today be simple. Let it fit.

A week of showing up is not nothing.Day seven. One full week into RED January. Whether you’ve run every day, most days, or just returned after stopping... today’s reflection is here to recognise that. Not with pressure. Not with demands. Just with quiet acknowledgement.This episode celebrates the small, personal, often invisible work of returning , even when the runs felt short, slow, messy, or ordinary. Because RED January isn’t about a flawless week. It’s about a real one. And you’ve had one.Let that land.

Let it be easy. Really easy.As the first week settles in and real life ramps back up, today’s reflection is an invitation to drop the pressure and embrace what’s simple. You don’t need to test yourself. You don’t need to chase momentum. You just need to keep the door open.This episode explores the importance of easy runs... the unremarkable, gentle efforts that make it easier to return tomorrow.

Short still counts... especially today.As routines restart and energy shifts, today’s reflection is a gentle reminder that your run doesn’t have to be long, intense, or impressive to matter. In fact, the smallest effort is often the most sustainable one.This episode explores the quiet power of choosing manageable movement... not as a fallback, but as part of the practice. RED January isn’t here to punish December or demand more than you have to give. It’s here to meet you in real life, on real days, with real limits.Let your run be whatever fits today. That’s not falling short — it’s moving wisely.

You don’t need to prove anything. Just run.By day four, comparison often creeps in — pace, time, distance, how this run stacks up against yesterday... or against someone else. Today’s reflection gently explores the pressure to measure and the quiet harm of turning movement into something that needs to be justified.This episode invites you back into your own lane. To let go of the need to check, compare, or impress. To move without turning the run into evidence of anything. You’re not here to win January. You’re here because you showed up — in this body, at this pace, on this kind of day.And that is more than enough.

You don’t need a plan. You just need to begin.Today’s reflection gently cuts through the noise of New Year pressure... the plans, promises, and timelines that ask us to predict or optimize everything before we’ve even started. In RED January, none of that is required.This episode invites you to move without a plan, to let your run be self-contained... not a test, not a forecast... just a moment of return. Whether you're on day three, starting fresh, or somewhere in between, this is your reminder: progress isn’t built through perfection. It’s built through patience.Just turn up. That’s enough for today.

Day One doesn’t need to feel big. It just needs to begin.In this first reflection for RED January, we take a quiet step into the month. No pressure. No declarations. No need to feel motivated or excited. Just the honest recognition that showing up exactly as you are is enough.This episode gently explores the difference between resolutions and intentions, the emotional weight of January 1st, and the permission to move without needing to prove anything. If today feels slow, heavy, or uncertain, you’re not doing it wrong. You’re doing it honestly.Let this be your first step - nothing more, nothing less.

Whether you're lacing up on December 31st or catching your breath a few days into January, this episode is your gentle invitation into RED January... a month of daily movement, not perfection. There's no pace to chase or streak to protect here. Just a quiet commitment to return to yourself, one step at a time.In this first daily reflection, we explore the power of simply showing up. No drama. No goals. Just you, your body, and the space to begin again. If you're tired, uncertain, or not feeling ready....You're in the right place. Let's step in together.
