This episode is a real, unfiltered conversation between the Strides for Strength coaches about what it actually looks like to navigate a tough season—physically, mentally, and emotionally. We unpack the pressure to “do more,” the myth that you have to keep up with everyone else, and the permission to honor whatever season your body is in. From race weekends to pelvic floor struggles to the importance of women supporting women, this episode pulls back the curtain on the messy middle. If you’ve been feeling off, overwhelmed, or like you’re not doing enough, this one is your reminder that you’re not alone.

💡 What You’ll Hear:

• The real talk behind expectations, performance pressure, and low-motivation seasons
• How pelvic floor issues shaped training and the conversation around women’s running
• Why you don’t have to keep up with runfluencers or anyone else online
• The behind-the-scenes of the Philly race weekend and what made it feel magical
