It’s about connection over perfection.\nTogether, we explore:\nNavigating injuries, setbacks and frustration - without walking away\nWhy community matters more than motivation\nWhat it really means to train smarter, not harder\nHow being alcohol-free creates space for deeper connection - with yourself, your running, and your family\nPatience, sustainability, and learning to play the long game\nThe emotional power of running  - especially when shared with others\nIdentity shifts: “I’m not a runner” → “I am a runner”\nWhy failure isn’t the end - it’s part of the path\nYou’ll hear raw, real stories from Liz, Stacey and Kris - covering injury, sobriety milestones, weight loss, mindset shifts, family inspiration, and the courage to keep showing up when things don’t go to plan.\nIf you’re finishing the year feeling tired, stuck, injured, inconsistent - or quietly proud of how far you’ve come - this episode is for you.\n🎄 A reminder this Christmas:\n You don’t need to be perfect.\n You don’t need to do it alone.\n And you’re probably doing better than you think.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/UY2VSmCjrDzqrbZW0YpYdcHYIqZ2qFMXWiQux7ypUiE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82NTZj/ZmY3ZDNkNzc2NzUz/Mjk4NTRjYjhjN2Rh/N2E5Yy5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
