  1. Day 31 | Nothing to Finish

    JAN 31

    Day 31 | Nothing to Finish

    There’s nothing to finish. Just one more ordinary day. As RED January comes to a close, this final reflection isn’t a send-off — it’s a soft exhale. There’s no challenge to complete, no emotion you need to feel, no final effort required. Today doesn’t need to tie the month together. It just needs to be whatever it is. This episode invites you to let the structure go without clinging, to notice what remains once the rhythm quiets. No pressure. No ceremony. Just the quiet knowledge that you showed up — and that movement will still be there when you need it. Thank you for being here. That was enough. About the Host The PKS Running Club is run by Paul (PKSRUNS) — a runner and creator who believes that running doesn’t have to be extreme, perfect, or impressive to matter. Paul started running later in life and has built his way to a 2:45 marathon, not through shortcuts or hype, but through consistency, patience, and learning how to fit running around real life — work, family, tired legs, busy heads. The PKSRUNS podcast is a space for honest reflections on running, training, discipline, doubt, and progress. Some episodes are practical. Some are reflective. Many are simply a reminder that short still counts, easy is allowed, and you don’t have to prove anything. This isn’t about elite performance or rigid plans. It’s about showing up on ordinary days, building a relationship with running that lasts, and finding something steady in the middle of life being busy, noisy, and imperfect. If you run for clarity, routine, mental health, or just because it helps you feel a bit more like yourself — you’ll feel at home here.

    Day 30 | Almost Nothing to Prove

    There’s almost nothing left to prove — and there probably never was. As RED January nears its final day, it’s easy to feel like today should mean something. That it should be strong, satisfying, reflective, or somehow tie the whole month together. But this episode offers a gentler truth: you don’t need to prove anything — not today, not tomorrow, not ever. You’ve already shown up. You’ve already made space for movement. Whether you ran every day or came back after breaks, the story has already been written — and it doesn’t need a perfect final chapter. Let today be simple. Ordinary. Enough.

    Day 29 - Keeping the Door Open

    You don’t have to decide everything today. Just keep the door open. As RED January nears its end, it’s tempting to jump ahead — to define what’s next, to make new rules, to pin down a plan. But today’s reflection invites you to pause. To resist that urge. To leave things a little unfinished, a little spacious. This episode explores what it means to continue gently — not through rigid structure, but by keeping the door open. Not every day. Not with pressure. Just with possibility. Let the next step come when it’s ready. For now, just keep moving.

  4. Day 28 | This was Never About January

    Day 28 | This was Never About January

    This was never about January. Today’s reflection is a gentle truth: the calendar didn’t create your consistency — you did. January was just a container, a backdrop that gave you permission to begin. The structure helped, but the practice is what made it real. As the month nears its end, this episode invites you to let go of the idea that it’s all tied to the date. Movement doesn’t care what day it is. The habits you’ve built live outside this month, too. You didn’t just run through January — you built something that can last.

    Day 27 | What You're Carrying Forward

    You’re not starting from scratch anymore — this is already part of you. Today’s reflection isn’t about lessons or breakthroughs. It’s about recognising what’s quietly stuck. By day 27, some decisions don’t need making anymore. You already know how to keep things simple. You already trust that missing a day doesn’t undo anything. And you’ve seen for yourself what fits alongside real life. This episode invites you to notice what you’re already carrying forward — not as a resolution, but as something that simply makes sense now. No pressure to preserve it. No need to name it. Just keep going gently. About the Host The PKS Running Club is run by Paul (PKSRUNS) — a runner and creator who believes that running doesn’t have to be extreme, perfect, or impressive to matter.

    Day 26 | Letting go of the Streak

    Let go of the streak. Keep hold of the practice. With just a few days left in RED January, it's easy to feel the weight of the streak — the pressure to finish strong, to protect the rhythm you’ve built. But today’s reflection is a reminder that this month was never about perfection or unbroken chains. It was about presence. Movement. Care. This episode gently invites you to loosen your grip. To trust that what you’ve built doesn’t disappear if it changes shape. The calendar isn’t what holds this together — you are. Let what comes next unfold gently.

    Day 25 | Noticing what's Changed

    You don’t need to keep checking in. At this point in the month, the habit is in place. And yet, many of us are still running a constant mental review.Did that feel better than yesterday?Am I still enjoying this?Is this even working? The truth is: you don’t need those questions right now. You don’t need to monitor every run. You don’t need to judge each effort. The real work is already happening — through repetition, through return, through letting the practice continue quietly. Today’s invitation is simple: run, and let that be enough. No score. No story. Just part of the day, not the headline.

    Day 24 | Running with Awareness

    By now, the practice mostly runs itself. The head noise has quietened. The route feels familiar. And the run often begins before you’ve had much time to think about it. Today’s reflection is an invitation to notice that — not to analyse it or turn it into a lesson, but simply to be aware that it's happening. Running doesn’t need to entertain you. It doesn’t need to teach you something every time. It can just be what it is — movement that fits quietly into the day. Whether today’s run is smooth or heavy, light or flat — there’s no need to shape it. Let it unfold. Let it be enough.
