  • What we wish we knew before we started running
    Podcast Notes: Women’s Running Collective – “What We Wish We Knew Before We Started Running” Welcome to another episode of the Women’s Running Collective podcast! In today’s episode, we’ll dive into the lessons we’ve learned from running and what we wish we knew when we started. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, these insights might just resonate with you! Key Topics: How Much We Needed to Learn When we first started running, we didn’t realize just how much there was to learn—about training, techniques, pacing, and how to listen to our bodies. The journey of running is not just physical; it’s a steep learning curve that teaches us resilience, adaptability, and patience.  The Community and Friendship Factor One of the biggest surprises was how running connected us with so many amazing people. From joining running groups to making lifelong friends on training runs, we discovered that running is more than just a sport—it’s a community. The True Cost of Running We underestimated how much running can cost, not just in terms of gear, but with entry fees for races, travel, and accessories. It’s easy to spend money on new shoes, clothing, and other running essentials, so budgeting for running can be important if you’re serious about the sport. Running Doesn’t Have to Hurt One of the biggest misconceptions we had was that running should always be painful or uncomfortable. But with proper form, appropriate pacing, and a focus on injury prevention, running can actually be enjoyable and pain-free. Running is Addictive Once you start seeing progress, running has a way of becoming addictive. The high from a runner's rush, the sense of accomplishment after a long run, and the challenge of hitting new goals can all become irresistible. It’s Never Too Late to Start Running For those thinking it's too late to pick up running, know this: it’s never too late! Starting running at any age comes with its own set of challenges, but it’s never too late to begin, set goals, and enjoy the benefits. The Importance of Rest and Recovery One lesson we learned the hard way is how crucial rest and recovery are. Overtraining can lead to injuries and burnout. Prioritizing rest, foam rolling, stretching, and sleep is as important as the training itself. How Much Your Fuel Intake Increases Running long distances requires fueling the body properly. We quickly realized that the more we ran, the more we needed to pay attention to our nutrition and hydration. Keeping up your energy and aiding recovery is key to running well and staying healthy. Success Doesn’t Come Overnight Whether it's hitting a new PR, completing a race, or simply making running a regular habit, success takes time. Progress is a gradual process, and consistency is everything. The key is to trust the process and celebrate small wins along the way. Recommendations: Jussie’s Pick: Archies Footwear – These super-comfy, supportive sandals are perfect for recovery days and keeping your feet happy after long runs. Check them out here. Hayley’s Pick: One Running – A brand that understands runners’ needs with their high-quality gear. Visit their site for great running apparel and essentials: One Running. Karmen’s Pick: Quad Lock Phone Case – For those who love to listen to music or track their runs, this secure phone case is a must-have. Check out the best way to carry your phone while running: Quad Lock. Final Thoughts: Running is a journey that comes with ups and downs, but it’s also filled with triumphs and moments of joy. Remember to be kind to yourself, celebrate every milestone, and stay connected to the community that supports you. Thanks for joining us for this episode of the Women’s Running Collective podcast. Happy running! xo Hayles, Jussie and Karmen
