Description

Coming back after a break in your training can feel like staring up at an impossible mountain. Whether it’s from the holidays or life getting in the way, the first run back can feel overwhelming.

In this episode, I tackle the mental hurdle of returning to training after time off. A lot of runners fear they’re starting from scratch, but that mindset keeps you stuck. I’ll break down three common thought errors that make it harder than it needs to be. You’ll learn why your pre-break fitness wasn’t actually your peak and how your experience can help you come back stronger and smarter.
