    Out N Back - Running Home with Friends - Diary of a Flying Runner

    Running Home with Friends This Run Home – Side B episode is exactly what it sounds like: no agenda, no metrics, just miles and mates. Recorded on the way home, this episode captures the easy rhythm of running with friends — Tim, Tara, Lucia, and Tony — where the pace is conversational and the stories flow as naturally as the run itself. We talk about: Why some of the best runs aren’t planned How running with friends changes the feel of the miles The quiet magic of shared effort without pressure Letting the run unfold without chasing splits or outcomes There’s laughter, reflection, and the kind of honest conversation that only happens mid-run, when the body’s moving and the mind finally relaxes. This is Side B — the flip side of training plans and performance goals.The part of running that reminds us why we fell in love with it in the first place. If you’ve ever finished a run feeling lighter than when you started, this one’s for you. Lace up.Settle in.And run it home. Your pace.Your glory. https://my.linkpod.site/YourPaceandGlory  ————————————————————————————- Read how CurraNz Blackcurrant extract improves performance. https://flyingrunr.com/2024/07/21/enhance-your-performance-with-curranz/  Special one-time code available to trial FLYINGRUN20 Find all of our Links here - https://my.linkpod.site/flyingrunr  Featured Running Clubs coming in 2026 - Find out how to feature your club. https://flyingrunr.com/featured-running-clubs-the-running-community/  Love our Music - Connect with Your Pace & Glory.

Both races are known for being fast, flat, and electric — but what are they really like for everyday runners, not just the front of the pack? We dig into the lived experience of running these events, looking beyond the hype to explore what makes Berlin and Copenhagen stand out as destination half marathons. The overall feel and personality of the Berlin and Copenhagen Half Marathons Course profiles, crowd energy, and city atmosphere What these races are like for mid-pack and back-of-the-pack runners Why Berlin and Copenhagen are key stops on the SuperHalfs journey How big-city races can still feel inclusive and runner-focused Whether you’re chasing a SuperHalfs medal, planning your first overseas race, or just love hearing how different cities come alive on race day, this episode is for you. https://my.linkpod.site/YourPaceandGlory  ————————————————————————————- Read how CurraNz Blackcurrant extract improves performance. https://flyingrunr.com/2024/07/21/enhance-your-performance-with-curranz/  Special one-time code available to trial FLYINGRUN20 Find all of our Links here - https://my.linkpod.site/flyingrunr  Featured Running Clubs coming in 2026 - Find out how to feature your club. https://flyingrunr.com/featured-running-clubs-the-running-community/  Love our Music - Connect with Your Pace & Glory.

    Out N Back - Pages & Stages from the Diary of a Flying Runner

    In this Out N Back episode of the Flying RuNR Podcast, we step away from splits and stats and dig into three core principles that shape not just better running — but a healthier relationship with the sport. This episode breaks down the inspiration behind three songs from The Diary of a Flying Runner: Listen to Your Body Eyes on the Prize Respect the Distance Each track reflects a lesson most runners only learn the hard way. 🧠 Listen to Your Body We talk about the difference between discomfort and warning signs, why ignoring fatigue is often praised in running culture, and how learning to listen can actually extend your running life. This isn’t about being soft — it’s about being smart. 🎯 Eyes on the Prize What is the prize when you’re not chasing podiums? This segment explores redefining success, staying focused on personal goals, and resisting the pressure to run someone else’s race. For everyday runners, the prize is often consistency, confidence, and joy — not a time on the clock. 🏃 Respect the Distance Every distance demands humility. From half marathons to the full 42.2km, we unpack why the distance always deserves preparation, patience, and respect — and what happens when ego tries to rush the process. 📔 From Miles to Music These songs weren’t written in a studio — they were written in the miles between sessions, during setbacks, comebacks, and quiet wins. This episode connects the mindset behind the music to the lived experience of runners at every level. 🎧 Featured Album The Diary of a Flying Runner — by Your Pace & Glory A collection of songs for runners who value progress over perfection and pride over pressure. If this episode resonates, share it with a runner who needs to hear it. And if you’re running today — remember: Your pace. Your glory. https://my.linkpod.site/YourPaceandGlory  ————————————————————————————- Read how CurraNz Blackcurrant extract improves performance. https://flyingrunr.com/2024/07/21/enhance-your-performance-with-curranz/  Special one-time code available to trial FLYINGRUN20 Find all of our Links here - https://my.linkpod.site/flyingrunr  Featured Running Clubs coming in 2026 - Find out how to feature your club. https://flyingrunr.com/featured-running-clubs-the-running-community/  Love our Music - Connect with Your Pace & Glory.
