This week, we’re digging into a big mindset shift inspired by our latest BOOK IT read, Elite Minds. We talk about what it really means to pause and feel satisfied with where you are, instead of instantly jumping to “What’s next?” or “How can I be better?” Toni shares how this is showing up in her own training, especially with the reminder: “I’m not behind. I’m building.”We also chat about navigating winter training, staying grounded when it feels like everyone else is racing ahead, and small shifts that help you stay confident in your own season. A mix of mindset, honest training talk, and the cozy chaos of winter running! See below for links, to learn more about what do at RR, and to follow us over on social media!

Welcome to our new segment BOOK IT where we take whatever running book we’re currently obsessed with and pull out the “oh wow… that actually makes sense” moments. Currently it’s Elite Minds, and yes, we already underlined way too much in just a few chapters. We’re also swapping training updates: Toni’s calf (doing great) & how she handled watching Philly Half weekend go by without catching FOMO. Christine’s ankle / PT updates. And of course… the early whispers of spring race plans creeping in. It’s mindset, mileage, and the usual coach tangents, all in one episode!

This week’s episode is a peek behind the curtain of our own training updates.Christine shares how PT is going and how Carter & Ryan’s 5K went (spoiler: they crushed it!!), while Toni opens up about her decision to pull from Philly, the latest on her calf, and what she’s considering next. It’s a conversation about pivoting with purpose, listening to your body, and remembering that progress isn’t always linear, but it’s always leading somewhere.

We’re back for Season 2, Episode 28, and kicking things off with a new mini-segment inspired by Elite Minds by Dr. Stan Beecham 👏 Each week we’ll share quick takeaways from a chapter and how they show up in running and life (basically, our version of a runner’s book club)! We also want our listeners to title this segment, so submit your ideas! This week’s updates: Christine’s first run back after PT, and Carter’s upcoming 5KToni’s calf recovery, test run day, and lessons in patience A good one if you’ve ever had to pivot, slow down, or trust that growth happens in the adjustment (not just in the grind).

A little tight, a little tired, but definitely fine. In this episode, we’re chatting about those small runner moments that test your chill - when your calf feels weird or your ankle’s cranky and suddenly you’re questioning everything. We talk about what we’re each navigating right now, how to keep perspective, and why staying calm (and curious) usually leads to the best outcome. Because sometimes, the smartest move isn’t pushing harder... it’s just not overreacting.
