Episode notes
Embrace Non-Running Activities
- Find activities outside of running that bring you joy, like hiking or spending time with family.
- Listen to your intuition and don't force yourself to run if you're not feeling it.
Gradual Strength Training
- Start strength training gradually to avoid injury, focusing on proper form with lighter weights and higher reps.
- Don't push yourself too hard, too soon, especially if you're new to strength training.
Mindful Strength Training
- Slow down your movements in strength training to be more present and aware of your form.
- Focus on correct execution rather than rushing through repetitions.
