My guest this week, Jaci Wilson, is on the show to talk about BURNOUT, something that far too many of us experience at one point or another in our lives. Jaci is recovering from her own period of burnout and talks about understanding what burnout is, how to identify it, and how we can help prevent it. We also talk about how to create a healthy and sustainable relationship with running so that it adds to your life instead of takes away!

Jaci Wilson is a self-taught runner turned run coach. She started running and ran her first half marathon in 2016, quickly learning the importance of not “just running.” After making some changes to her nutrition and strength training, she took 45min off her half marathon in 5 months and qualified for Boston in her first marathon 1.5 years later. Jaci uses the lessons she has learned through her struggles and different seasons of life to shorten the learning curve for other runners to see faster success. Jaci is an RRCA Certified Running Coach but really focuses on all the other aspects of running – nutrition, strength training, sleep, recovery, mindset work, mobility, self-care, etc. – what she refers to as “ALL THE THINGS.” Her passion lies in nutrition and raising awareness around the importance of female athletes in understanding how to work WITH their female physiology. Jaci believes running should fit INTO your life, that all running lessons can be applied to life, and that you can do ALL THE THINGS without it being time-consuming or overwhelming.
