This week on Runnah, we’re doing something a little different — a solo episode because we don’t have a guest this week, and honestly… this felt like the episode that needed to happen.

This is a pep talk for injured runners. And if I’m being real, it’s a pep talk I’m giving mostly to myself — but I know I’m not the only one sitting in this space.

Injury can mess with your confidence, your identity, your routine, and your nervous system. It can make you feel disconnected, impatient, frustrated, and weirdly alone — especially when running is how you process life. In this episode, I talk openly about what it feels like to be sidelined and how I’m trying to show up anyway.

If you’re hurt, rehabbing, waiting on answers, or just struggling to trust your body right now, this episode is me sitting next to you and reminding both of us: you are not broken, you are not behind, and this is not the end of your story.

We’ll be back with a guest episode next week. Thanks for being here for the quieter, messier moments too — they count.
