Fix My Running

Why to Avoid Running Comfortably Hard


Listen Later

In this episode, Matthew Boyd interviews Bill Kossmann, a runner who experienced a loss of motivation and struggled with back pain during his training.


Bill shares his journey of starting running later in life, progressing to ultra marathons, and eventually feeling obligated to participate in races. He discusses the negative impact of lacking structure and guidance in his training, as well as the demoralizing experience of being injured during a race.


Bill explains how working with a coach and implementing a new training plan has helped him regain his love for running and improve his back pain. He shares his future goals and the enjoyment he now finds in the overall fitness aspect of running.


Takeaways

  • Having a structured training plan and guidance from a coach can help improve motivation and performance in running.
  • Running solely for the sake of meeting others' expectations can lead to a loss of enjoyment and burnout.
  • Addressing underlying issues, such as back pain, can significantly impact running performance and overall well-being.
  • Finding a balance between structure and flexibility in training allows for adaptation to personal circumstances and goals.
