We get into the real reasons running can’t be your emotional safety net: You can't make good decisions when you’re fatigued. You attach your mental health to a sport that can be taken away with one niggle. You start using running as a distraction instead of a solution. And worst of all, you begin associating the thing you love with feeling awful.This one is honest, confronting, and probably the wake-up call some runners need.If you want to run stronger, last longer, and enjoy the sport without leaning on it to fix everything… listen in.Clear, practical takeaways inside. No fluff. No sugarcoating.
