Episode Title: Embracing Consistency: Running for Joy and Mental Health

In this uplifting episode, Hayley and Justine dive into how consistency—not intensity—is the key to joyful, sustainable running. They open up about their own routines, juggling runs with family life, and finding motivation even on busy days. From tempo runs to treasured rituals (hello, apricot cubes!), this episode is packed with practical tips and heartfelt moments.

💬 Highlights include:

  • Strategies for fitting in runs around parenting and work

  • Breaking the myth of "No pain, no gain"

  • Creating rituals to build a consistent habit

  • Listener Jessica's emotional story of running in memory of her son, Josaia Jessica.joy.adventures

  • Product faves: reusable water bottles + on-the-go fuel
