Episode 297 - When running 5k feels like failure

This week I talk failure and ambitions and how our brain can play a hell of a trick on us. I did couch to 5k back six years ago now and still run on the regular but after a month not running I was faced by my brain telling me "you suck". I could still run 5k and do so without much fuss but my target and goal posts had moved and I wasn't appreciating how far I'd come or even how just being able to do that was a huge goal a ALOT of people like it was for me back in 2019. So lets talk excersize, running, pride, self sabotage, guilt and shame and decide once and for all that if we're at least trying we're succeeding. The show is available on: Itunes Spotify Acast Support us on If you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs! It's only $1 or £1 depending on your location and means this can be a truly not for profit creation! Thanks for your time and Hope you have a great year Graham Hosted on Acast.
