    Episode 9: Running - Joy vs. Performance

    In Episode 9,  we’re exploring a question that every runner—especially those of us over 50—eventually faces: Am I still running for performance... or have I started running for joy? And can we do both?” Ultimately, running over 50 isn’t about giving up goals. It’s about redefining them. Whether you’re chasing a PR or chasing peace—you’re still running forward. A Challenge to you: This week, try one run without metrics. Just run for joy. Let your body—not your watch—set the pace. Make sure to comment or send us your thoughts!
