WOOHOOO it's good to be back doing my favourite thing - podcasting!!! I got myself a new mic so double celebrations!! This is a quick solo episode answering your questions from the box I put on my story last week. I discuss preparing for long runs, balancing training and life, excuses vs pain, the impacts of stress on running, returning to running after injury, and more. I could answer 10000 questions on running so there will be more where this came from.
Key message: running is here to complement our lives. Take a deep breath and remember that you're doing your best.
