Summary

Have you had to—or are you contemplating—giving up running because of injury and/or chronic pain? The Final Finish Line, a special four-part series, will be cathartic and helpful as you figure out your next steps. In episode #3, Dimity about easing the mental side of stopping running with Kim Dawson, PhD, a professor of sports/exercise psychology at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario. Among other things, the two chat about: Why Kim is an advocate of healthy transitions—and why they’re harder than we think; How to cultivate a holistic self-identity, so you’re not too reliant on one aspect (like running); Why the rate of change isn’t never as quick as you’d like it to be; and How Kim is expanding her athletic world far outside of running. Please give us your thoughts on our podcast here. Join our Blood Sugar Badass Challenge, September 26-29, here. Find Dimity’s series for Women’s Running and other not-running-anymore resources here.
