Description

This mini episode looks back at the first few weeks of working with my coach, Victoria from Train Smart Run Strong, when I showed up unsure, uncomfortable, and trying to figure out if my body could handle another marathon. We walk through how she approached my situation, the way she separates normal training fatigue from true red-flag pain, and why building a pain free foundation matters more than any workout. Along the way, we talk about the mindset shifts she teaches all injured athletes, the role of early confidence wins, and how variety and communication can quietly move you from panic mode to steady progress.
