Day 20 | Tired isn't the same as Broken
Tired is not the same as broken.
By day 20 of RED January, the spark might have dulled. Your legs feel heavy. The buzz is gone. And the temptation is to ask: Should it still feel like this? But today’s reflection reminds us that tired doesn’t mean something’s wrong — it means you’ve been showing up.
This episode helps you distinguish between resistance and reality, discomfort and damage. It’s a calm, honest check-in — especially for anyone wondering if fatigue means they’ve failed.
It doesn’t. You’re not broken. You’re just in the middle of the work.
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.
