In this episode, I’m talking about something every runner experiences but rarely discusses honestly: pain during a run and the panic that can come with it. I share how I used to interpret every ache, tight spot, or sharp sensation as a sign that something was seriously wrong. One twinge could spiral into anxiety, Google searches, and cutting runs short out of fear.

But over time, my mindset changed.

I break down the difference between discomfort and injury, how I learned to stop catastrophising normal training sensations, and why I now see pain as information instead of a verdict. This episode is about experience, resilience, and building confidence in your body, especially when things feel uncertain mid-run.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Should I stop?” or felt your thoughts race faster than your pace, this conversation is for you.
