Day 18 | The Urge to Quit Properly
Stopping isn’t quitting.
On day 18 of RED January, we explore an essential truth: listening to your body is not the same as giving up. In this reflection, PKSRUNS shares a personal story of having to cut a run short — and what it revealed about the difference between resistance and reality.
Resistance argues. Reality simply says: not today. This episode is about recognising that difference, letting go of perfectionism, and staying connected to the practice — even when it changes shape.
Stopping is not failure. It's part of the process.
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.

Follow along, run alongside the community, and take what you need from it — without pressure, ego, or expectation.
