About this episode
Rose Harvey discusses the challenges of returning from injury and rebuilding confidence in running.
In this short conversation recorded at the new Puma store in Oxford Street, I sit down with Rose Harvey to talk honestly about returning from injury. We cover the mental challenges of being sidelined, rebuilding confidence, trusting the process when fitness feels far away, and how to approach the early stages of getting back into training without rushing or forcing it. A grounded, relatable listen for any runner navigating injury, setbacks, or the long road back to enjoying the sport again.
