About this episode

The episode explores the concept of pain in running and how to better overcome it through mindset and understanding.

In a recent conversation with other runners, we fell to discussing the challenges of digging deep or pushing harder or hurting a little more. Given the close connection to our recent discussion about mindset and the mind-body connection, we dive deeper into pain, both what it is and what we can do as runners to overcome it better.
