Previous Episode: One weird trick to hit new running PBs and prevent injuries. Just kidding, it’s strength training

Next Episode: Bonus Episode - The Things You Say After a Yoga Retreat (Part 1)

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 sedentary outside of planned training can help too.

This episode is all abut the overwhelm that has resulted in the slow grinding down of resilience over the last few years and especially navigating the challenges of work life, home life, parenting life and all the competing challenges that this comes with.

In this episode we talk about:

Red flags of overwhelm

Can you use a planner or are you too scared to ruin stationery.

The perils of distraction with things that don’t actually matter

Actually writing it down vs using an electronic calendar

Did it happen if you didn’t tick it off

The cruelty of red dots on final surge

Running watch advice - Coros vs Garmin

The Ponzi scheme of home maintenance and emotional labour

The depletion of resilience over the last few years

Developing an early warning system when you need to pull back

How incorrect ideas about running like more is better, harder is better, lighter is better can lead you astray
Maybe you need to rest? Seriously.
