Season 2 Ep2: Becca’s journey from track to road to building the running store Berlin needs.
2w ago01:19:33Tap to summarizeBecca is a Berlin-based runner, ex-800m track kid, and one of the co-founders behind Common Pace, the run store and community hub she's building near Tempelhofer Feld. In this episode she traces the whole arc: from chasing Olympic dreams as a twelve-year-old, to over-optimizing every variable as an adult, to a stress fracture that forced her to stop building her entire life around running and start running on feel instead.We get into:The injury that hit a week before her first marathon, and why it rewired how she trainsWhy she deleted Strava for good, and the year she wrote a poem for every single runRunning on feel vs running by pace, and learning to leave the watch alone on easy daysThe fueling lessons every injured runner learns the hard way (no fasted runs, eat after the late session, stop overthinking it)Why Tempelhofer Feld is Berlin's great equalizer, and how the winter crowd is nothing like the marathon-training crowdCommon Pace: the community-first run store she's building, and why a running city like Berlin doesn't have one yetHer unfiltered takes on running culture, kudos, and why no one actually cares about your paceWhether you're coming back from injury, deep in marathon block, or just tired of letting your watch run the show, this one's a reset. It's for anyone who's ever cared a little too much, and is learning to care about the right things instead.Common Pace @commonpace.store on Insta and www.commonpace.de Becca on Insta @becca.staccata
