317. You Can’t Rush Progress

Let me say this straight up—you can’t rush progress. And yet, almost every runner tries. In this episode, “You Can’t Rush Progress,” we’re talking about why fat loss, strength, and better running performance take longer than you want—but not longer than they need to. If you’ve ever jumped from plan to plan… pushed harder when your body was already tired… or wondered why you’re doing “all the right things” but still not seeing the results you expected—this conversation will hit home. I’ll break down what real progress actually looks like, why impatience is one of the biggest things holding runners back, and how to shift from constantly chasing results to building momentum that actually lasts. No hype. No shortcuts. Just clear thinking, practical examples, and a better way to approach training and nutrition—so you stop fighting your own progress and start working with it.
