We recorded this in December last year, but I think you will still get a lot out of it. In this episode we are talking about overwhelm and some of the red flags of your mental health. Sometimes you find them at the doctor or at the gym, or just because everything feels too hard. Running won't fix your mental health, but it can play a big part in helping you to navigate your challenges and in having something that supports you. And if you are struggling because you can't run, then check out these tips on surviving a long-term injury. And if you are really time poor, these ideas for being less s ..read more

If you google 'strength training for runners' you'll come up with a billion results. The problem isn't that we don't know that it's beneficial, the problem is actually getting it done. I've written about developing mental toughness, how to motivate yourself to do hard things and why you need joy, not motivation - but in this episode of the podcast, Jo and I are talking specifically about strength training. It's easy to downplay the challenges with strength training and put it in the 'just do it' basket. But there can be loads of obstacles - gyms can be intimidating, especially if you aren't us ..read more

  In this episode with Jo, I'm talking about that big thing which deep down we probably all fear as runners: a big scary injury with no running, no clear path forward and no timeline of how long it will last for. We look at what that takes to get through to the other side, and how we answer the question of how much do you love running? Because you are going to have to love it a whole lot to get through endless rehab, endless setbacks and the mental challenges associated with that.   Watch on YouTube https://youtu.be/ilax0q5-LVM   SUPPORT THE PODCAST If you want to learn more abo ..read more

Yes, we are talking about NOT running.   Creating space for parenting, business and other adventures. Around here we are usually all about running. And most of the time you hear the story of wow I really struggled and then I figured it out and here I am doing all of the things. This isn't that story. It's accepting that sometimes you have to put one thing down to make space for other things.   SUPPORT THE PODCAST   If you want to learn more about our membership community, check out run club https://opmove.com/run-club/   You can also join our free community group here https ..read more
