Listen Later

Every runner will need to take time off at some point, whether a normal post-race recovery period, several weeks or months to deal with an injury or illness, or months+ (hello, baby!) for a variety of reasons. That's life! Don't freak out! How do you take time off, stage a comeback, and keep believing in yourself the whole way through? Kim Clark (@trackclubbabe) joins the show to talk about how to keep the faith and set yourself up for long-term success.

  • Normalizing recovery!
  • Taking recovery time is a NORMAL part of the training process
  • What happens if you take a few days or a week off?
  • When bigger interruptions happen
  • How to deal with the emotions of being "less fit" than you were?
  • Giving yourself permission to run as slow as you need to
  • How do you keep believing that your fitness will return?
  • Kim discovered a love for running 10 years ago and loves to share the ups & downs of her journey on her instagram @trackclubbabe, while encouraging others to dream big. Her first marathon was a 6:08 and her fastest a 3:11-- and she shares all the training strategies for any runner to improve their running too! Kim & her husband Tyler (@tunderface, a 4:10 to a 2:18 marathoner) have created training programs made for any level of runner to find big improvement. Their program FAST FALL, a 12 week speed training program, was created off of what helped Kim to finally find her running breakthrough & has helped so many runners reach their big potential too.
