Learning To Pace

In this episode of Lace Up and Listen, I talk about the long road that led me to pacing a friend through a goal race and what that experience revealed about running, discipline, and recovery.This episode explores the training philosophies that changed how I approach endurance, including aerobic base building, structured marathon training, and the mental side of pacing effort. I talk about learning to slow down, building consistency through structured training, and how endurance running teaches patience in ways that spill into the rest of life.Along the way, I reflect on how running helped rebuild trust in myself during addiction recovery and why movement has become the space where I process life.This episode is about pacing a race, but it’s also about pacing growth. Sometimes the most important lessons show up in the miles that didn’t go exactly as planned.
