What if you could go back to the start of your running journey and do things differently?

In this episode of the Running Explained Podcast, coaches Amanda and Nick break down the 6 biggest lessons they wish they knew when they first started running. From chasing results too early to underestimating fueling, recovery, and balance, this conversation is packed with insights that can help you train smarter, avoid common mistakes, and actually enjoy the process.

Whether you’re a beginner runner or someone who’s been at it for years, these lessons will likely hit home and might just change how you approach your training moving forward.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why putting pressure on results can actually hurt performance
  • The truth about the “finish line feeling” and why it doesn’t last
  • Why perfect training doesn’t exist (and what matters instead)
  • How underfueling impacts energy, performance, and recovery
  • The importance of balance in training and life
  • Why recovery, sleep, and time away from running are critical

This episode is a reminder that running progress isn’t just about pace or race times. It’s about building something sustainable, enjoyable, and long-lasting.

If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or just want to get more out of your running, this is a must-listen.
