In this episode of The Real Life Runners Podcast, we’re diving into a topic that so many runners can relate to—using running as a stress relief tool, but sometimes this backfires. We’ll talk about the common mistakes runners make that can actually increase stress levels rather than relieve them. The key? Learning to reconnect with your body and adjust training to support—not strain—your system.
We’ll share the power of disconnecting from external pressures (including those ever-present phones!) and how tuning into your body can help you run stronger and feel better.
We’ll also dive into the connection between running and the nervous system, the impact of stress on training, and why this matters especially for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. Plus, we’re excited to introduce Running Reconnected—our program designed for runners over 40 who want to feel strong, capable, and energized by working with their bodies instead of against them. Stick around for a special offer to join us!
