Comparing ourselves to past versions or other runners prevents us from enjoying running today and moving forward with consistency.
• The "Your Best Run" podcast focuses on context-specific running success - your best run after injury, after having kids, or in your current life situation
• Comparison is the thief of joy, especially when looking at younger versions of ourselves or social media highlight reels
• Our bodies express the life we've built - fatigue and changes in energy reflect achievements, not failures
• The context of our lives changes as we age, with different responsibilities and energy demands
• Training structures that worked in the past may not have been sustainable, which is why we stopped
• Social media consumption significantly impacts our mindset - curate your timeline to include truly inspirational content
• Replace criticism and comparison with compassion and understanding of your current context
• Break your return to running into small, manageable steps
Remember your best run isn't your fastest, it's the one you show up for.
