In this episode of the Rambling Runner podcast, I share my journey through athletic challenges, focusing on my experiences with running higher mileage, personal growth, and the importance of finding balance in training. I reflect on my attempts to increase mileage, the mental and physical toll it took, and how I ultimately reassessed my goals to create a more sustainable running routine. I focus on the the value of consistency and the lessons learned from my experiences, setting the stage for future growth in 2025.
