In this episode of The Runner Dudes Podcast, hosts Micheal and Dusty welcome back guest Dusty Rawls for a candid and motivating conversation on running, discipline, and overcoming mental barriers. Dusty shares his personal journey from completing a marathon on a zero-carb plan to rediscovering the joy of running after setbacks and injuries. The discussion dives into the importance of consistency over motivation, the pros and cons of solo vs. group runs, and how to overcome self-consciousness about body image. Packed with humor, practical tips, and inspiration, this episode reminds listeners that running—and fitness as a whole—is about progress, health, and joy, not perfection.
