Description

In this episode of the Rambling Runner podcast, I delve into the challenges and mindset required to regain peak fitness after a significant time away from running. I emphasize the importance of a long-term commitment, adopting a beginner's mindset, and the need for self-compassion and realistic goal setting. I share personal insights and strategies to overcome common hurdles and maintain motivation on the journey back to fitness.
