The 10 Worst Mistakes I’ve Made as a Runner
On this episode, I share my roundup of the worst mistakes I’ve made since I started running in 2008.
Show Notes:
10. Wearing the wrong size sports bra.
My current favorite running bra is the Brooks UpLift Crossback.
9. Running that one time I had a fever.
8. Not fully prioritizing my training.
I’m happy to get the miles in, but I get really lazy when it comes to foam rolling, cross-training, and stepping up my nutrition game.
7. Getting way too emotionally invested in running and taking the hard runs hard.

6. Being a slave to my Garmin and obsessing over data.

5. Not running with friends sooner!

4. Getting caught in the comparison trap.
3. Running through pain.
2. Not taking enough rest days!

Can definitely relate to 6! My data obsession caused me to quit running for six months 🙁
Thank you for the running inspiration!
