Episode 2071 - What I Learned Running Unwell
from Runpreneur Hosted by Kevin Brittain
Today I talk about something I don't usually recommend, running while you're feeling under the weather. After a business trip that left me short on sleep and dealing with the usual toxins from a social evening, I woke up on day 2071 of my streak feeling rough. My honest advice, if you're unwell, rest first. But when stopping isn't an option, as it isn't for me on this streak, there are ways to reduce the risk. I slowed my pace right down, focused on hydration before and after, and stayed honest with myself about when to take a break. This episode reflects on what that morning taught me about consistency, not intensity, being the real foundation of a long-term mission. I'm currently at 15,987.39km toward a full 40,075km lap of the world, all in barefoot-style shoes, all to raise £1M for children's causes through Great Ormond Street and BBC Children in Need. If you've ever had to push through a tough day for something bigger than yourself, this one's for you. #runningwhilesick #recoveryrun #streakrunning #mindset #ukrunnerscommunity #runnerslifestyle #ultrarunninglife #runformentalhealth #strava #stravarun #Insta360 #vibramfivefingersWatch the full episode: https://youtu.be/e9648Xdl-Kk
