Lace Em Up! Let's Talk Running.

Lace up your shoes and ditch the inspirational BS, 'cause this episode gets real about running.

We're all tired of the endless motivational crap. Let's talk about the actual struggle of running: the side stitch that feels like a demon trying to claw its way out, the never-ending internal debate about quitting, and the questionable fashion choices of some marathoners.

This week, we're dropping truth bombs about:

• The "runner's high" myth: Spoiler alert, it's not always sunshine and rainbows.
• The agony of that first mile: We all know the feeling, and it ain't pretty.
• Running Gear: Is that $200 pair of shoes really making a difference.
• The social pressure to be a "good runner": here to remind you it's okay to walk, jog, or even wheeze your way through a run.

This ain't your mama's running podcast. Buckle up for some blunt honesty and a healthy dose of humor.
