Rest and recovery are essential parts of running, yet for many of us it can be hard to embrace. Skipping a run, scaling back, or listening to your body can bring up guilt, frustration, or fears of losing progress even when rest is exactly what we need.

In this episode of Run Your Mind, runners share:

• The challenges they face when taking rest days or stepping back from training.

• How recovery has actually supported their long-term progress, performance, and relationship with running.

• The mindset shifts, habits, and reminders that have helped them integrate rest without guilt or fear of going backwards.
