ANECDOTE

Beach Reset Changed The Day

Coach Bennett lay down on a windy New Jersey beach for about 20 minutes to reset between errands.
That brief pause shifted his mood and reduced overwhelm enough to finish the day better.

ADVICE

Pause To Protect The Workout

Do stop briefly during a run when effort exceeds the run's purpose; 30–120 seconds won't hurt fitness.
Use that pause to gather breath, reframe effort, and restart at the correct pace.

INSIGHT

Stopping Is Strategic Strength

Stopping to reset is not weakness but an act that prevents making things harder than necessary.
The mental benefit of brief stops often yields better runs than stubbornly pushing on.
