This week on the I Don’t Know Running Podcast, Mitch shares his journey back from injury using a run-walk approach and the lessons he’s learning along the way. Meanwhile, Lewis dives into his 100K training, the grind of running in the summer heat, and why Zone 2 training has become the key to staying healthy.

We also cover:

Injury recovery, knee pain, and learning when to actually rest

How slowing down can make running more enjoyable (and social!)

Stretching & recovery routines that fit into real life

Fueling & hydration mistakes (and fixes) for long runs

The thrill of watching athletes push through at the final hours of an Ironman

Jeff Garmire’s unsupported Appalachian Trail FKT attempt

Whether you’re new to running or a seasoned ultra veteran, this conversation is packed with relatable stories, lessons learned, and reminders that—no matter how long you’ve been running—we’re all still figuring it out.
