The Thoughtful Runner Podcast Pioneers

It's another edition of the least sporting sports podcast in the world! Today a sunny, Spring evening run around Edinburgh's Holyrood Park made Katharine wonder about perspective. If in one day the city can transform from a chilly drizzlefest to euphoric sunshine, perhaps ones inner barometer can manage a little adjustment too. This episode is all about blinking and choosing to see the same old world in a different light. And how jolly nice that can be. Enjoy the sunshine!

Running is great for your mind and body, but it's good for the soul too! We all need places to be playful and let off steam. What better way to be silly than when you can run away really fast if someone tells you off? Katharine thinks about running as an outlet for the inner child and a way to experience a world you don't have to feel overly responsible for, for once. Have fun, play and be light of heart, runners!

In spite of a few big changes, Katharine’s still out there running and thinking and squinting at stuff.Right now she’s pondering Springtime nostalgia: It’s really nice how the Spring comes every year, but spare a thought for poor, old Winter. It's true that there’s nothing lovelier than a host of golden daffodils to brighten up your morning run, but isn’t this season just a little insensitive? Well, there’s nothing to do but greet Nature with her own fickleness.Say hello on thethoughtfulrunner@gmail.com

Katharine takes a moment to reflect on a year of making this podcast, and says THANKS for listening! This episode is about running through unhelpful thoughts and actions. Sometimes you can try all you like to feel like your sparkly self, but there's no forcing it. So what do you do? Embrace the funk and get those running shoes on. Katharine thinks that if you run for long enough, you'll soon be back in business. Do you agree? Don't do that if you're poorly though. That's just silly beans.

Ahead of next weekend’s Brighton marathon, Katharine wonders whether she should show up. She thinks about how what we expect from ourselves differs from what our loved ones want. Then she waffles on for ages, comparing how getting through some crappy events is much like a big old 26.2 mile race. There are some swearys in this one, sorry kids.Say hello on thethoughtfulrunner@gmail.com
