Common Pace

Running is hard, uncomfortable, and sometimes lonely—but it can also be one of the most rewarding things you ever do. In this episode, Alexis Sedgwick talks about why runners keep coming back, from the satisfaction of reaching goals that once seemed impossible to the confidence that comes from learning what you’re capable of. She gets honest about the mental battle of difficult runs, the frustration of injuries and setbacks, and the patience it takes to trust your training. Whether you’re a runner, thinking about becoming one, or simply chasing a goal of your own, this episode is a reminder that some of the hardest miles can end up being the most meaningful.

Progress can feel invisible long before it becomes real. In this episode, Alexis Sedgwick talks about what it’s like to feel stuck in sports, school, and everyday life, and how to recognize the difference between a plateau and burnout. She explores why rest is an important part of progress, how small changes in training can help you move forward, and why growth often happens before you can actually see the results. If you’re feeling frustrated, behind, or like your hard work isn’t paying off yet, this episode is a reminder that slow progress is still progress.

Your race time is not your identity. In this episode, Alexis Sedgwick talks honestly about the pressure of PR culture, comparison, “trackflation,” and the expectation to constantly get faster. She explores how tools like Strava can fuel comparison, why mindset and self-talk matter, and what it means to keep loving your sport even when the results aren’t what you hoped for. Through a difficult personal experience with injury, regression, and a heartbreaking race, Alexis shares why one bad performance—or even one bad season—doesn’t define you or your future.

Motivation gets the credit, but discipline is what actually gets you out the door when you don’t feel like it. In this episode, Alexis Sedgwick explores the difference between motivation and discipline through real experiences from school, cross-country, rainy runs, tough workouts, and the days when everything feels harder than it should. She talks about how keeping the promises you make to yourself can build confidence, self-respect, and momentum—and why comparison and bad days don’t have to define your progress. Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that growth isn’t always visible right away, but consistently showing up can create change long before you see the results.
