There definitely can be too much of a good thing when it comes to running and before you know it, your healthy obsession has turned into another injury.

But is there really such a thing as balance when you are chasing big goals?

Let’s find out with Whitney Heins of The Mother Runners at https://www.themotherrunners.com/

We go over:

The good and bad side of always striving for more
How ignoring her body and pushing too hard backfired, and
How doing less is actually working better and making her happier

It’s always a great conversation with Whitney because we have so much in common and while she’s much faster than most moms, including me, she’s so relatable.

RECENT REVIEWS:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Perfect timing 😊

“I am a listener from Asia and I stumbled upon your podcast a year ago. I have been running for a few years now but just recently shifted to a plant based diet. I am so happy I found this podcast. It really helped me a lot and up to now, I’m still learning every episode. It has been tough having this lifestyle, especially where I am from where the resources are very meager. Thank you so much and I always look forward to weekly episodes. Keep it up, I hope you know how much help and inspiration you are able to give 💯”
