Running Lean

This episode is called “What This Year Taught You (If You’re Willing to Look)”, and it’s probably one of the most important conversations we can have right now.

Before you rush into setting new goals, new races, or another plan that promises everything will be different next year, I want you to pause.

Because if you don’t take the time to reflect on what this year actually showed you—about your habits, your mindset, your training, and your relationship with your body—you’re likely to repeat the same patterns all over again.

Today, we’re not talking about success or failure.

We’re talking about lessons. Honest ones.

The kind that lead to real change—if you’re willing to look at them.

This is a reflective, slightly uncomfortable, but incredibly powerful year-end reset that can change how you show up next year—not just as a runner, but as a human being.
