Anyone that’s says “no pain no gain” has no idea what they’re talking about. There are so many gains you can make with no pain involved. Doesn’t mean there won’t be hard runs and tough races and struggles along the way on your running journey. But none of that should be dependent on pain. Give this episode a listen and if you’ve still got that poster from the 80’s or 90’s up on your wall that say “No Pain. No Gain”… it’s time to take it down.
