Podcast: Episode 32 – Coming back after a long break. How to start again.

Ever had a break from running and then feel a bit lost?

Sometimes you have a break because life gets busy, or because you weren’t loving it and motivation was low or because you were sick or had an injury or something awesome like having a baby. There are a million reasons to have a break, and today I talk about why that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but you do often need some strategies to get back out there too.

I chat about:

• Taking a good look at why you needed the break – maybe you weren’t enjoying it or you were overtraining
• Being smart with your body when you are building up distance again
• Having realistic expectations of yourself
• Learning from your break, rather than just ploughing on forward
• Focussing on the process, not the goal
• Treating your body as an ally, not the enemy
• Where to start and tips to get you going in the beginning
