In this powerful episode of Your Running Coach with GMacSpurr, Coach G challenges a belief many runners silently carry: that running slower means you're failing.
In a culture that glorifies speed and constant performance, it’s easy to internalize the idea that slower equals worse, but that mindset can be damaging to both your progress and your passion.
Coach G unpacks why embracing slower runs is not only okay but essential for long-term growth, recovery, and joy in your running journey. She explores the hidden benefits of slowing down, from reducing burnout and injury risk to building lasting mental resilience.
With a personal story, mindset shifts, and thoughtful journal prompts, this episode will help you detach your self-worth from your pace and reconnect with the reason you started running in the first place.
