For many runners, rest days don’t feel like recovery. They feel like falling behind.
And there are very real neuroscientific reasons this happens.
So how did recovery become the hardest workout of the week.for so many runners?
Let’s find out.
On today’s episode, you’ll learn:
why productivity can become psychologically addictive,
why many runners feel unsafe or uncomfortable when they rest, and
how to reframe rest as an essential part of high performance instead of a sign of weakness.
As a high-achieving go-getter myself, this episode really hits home for me and you’ll see how this topic isn’t just about your running, but how you run your life.

RECENT REVIEWS:
Great podcast for experienced and new runners alike!
I found this podcast about 5 years ago and have been a devoted listener ever since. Great interviews with famous and ordinary runners along with running advice and discussions that will motivate you to get out there and be the best runner you can be.
Running tips and inspiration at its best
I’ve followed for a while and pop in and out when I see a topic I’m especially in need of help or need to revisit some expert tips from Claire. Super helpful information. Claire is so knowledgeable and presents everything in such a user friendly way, whether you are a newbie runner or looking for some updated perspective on the world of running!
Very informative!
I love this podcast! I started listening when I was new to running (been eating a plant based diet for much longer than I’ve been running) and I always find it very interesting! Coach Claire has a very good voice and precise way of speaking and conveying information! I just wish the episodes were longer so they didn’t stop halfway through my runs!
