This week we're questioning everything we thought we knew about running, especially the idea that more miles and more suffering automatically equal better results. We talk about injury myths, overtraining, and why sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take a day off and not spiral about it. Turns out elite athletes recover on purpose, not just by accident.

Of course we also share stories that have absolutely nothing to do with optimal performance, including grease fires, rogue smoke detectors, and the weird things your body does when you push it too hard for too long. We get into treadmill truth, influencer running culture, training apps that may or may not be helping, and why race hard or go home is not always the flex people think it is.

If you are tired of hustle culture, stuck in an injury cycle, or just want permission to train in a way that actually feels sustainable, this one is for you. Smarter training, fewer breakdowns, and plenty of laughs along the way.
