Resistance doesn’t mean something’s wrong — it means you’re still here.

Around day sixteen of RED January, the rhythm often shifts. The novelty has faded. Enthusiasm has stepped back. And what’s left is effort — quiet, persistent effort. This episode explores resistance — not as failure or fatigue, but as the normal friction of continuing something that matters.

You don’t need to push harder. You don’t need to feel inspired. You just need to show up, even when the shine has worn off. Not to prove anything. Just because you said you would.

That’s what continuing looks like.

About the Host

The PKS Running Club is run by Paul (PKSRUNS) — a runner and creator who believes that running doesn’t have to be extreme, perfect, or impressive to matter.

Paul started running later in life and has built his way to a 2:45 marathon, not through shortcuts or hype, but through consistency, patience, and learning how to fit running around real life — work, family, tired legs, busy heads.

The PKSRUNS podcast is a space for honest reflections on running, training, discipline, doubt, and progress. Some episodes are practical. Some are reflective. Many are simply a reminder that short still counts, easy is allowed, and you don’t have to prove anything.

This isn’t about elite performance or rigid plans. It’s about showing up on ordinary days, building a relationship with running that lasts, and finding something steady in the middle of life being busy, noisy, and imperfect.

If you run for clarity, routine, mental health, or just because it helps you feel a bit more like yourself — you’ll feel at home here.
