You don’t need to keep checking in.

At this point in the month, the habit is in place. And yet, many of us are still running a constant mental review.
Did that feel better than yesterday?
Am I still enjoying this?
Is this even working?

The truth is: you don’t need those questions right now. You don’t need to monitor every run. You don’t need to judge each effort. The real work is already happening — through repetition, through return, through letting the practice continue quietly.

Today’s invitation is simple: run, and let that be enough. No score. No story. Just part of the day, not the headline.

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.
