Summary
Not every run is about chasing a personal best. Sometimes it’s about slowing down, breathing deep, and letting your body recharge while still moving forward.
In this episode of 'RunPod - The Extra Mile!' Jenni explores the art of the recovery run-those easy miles that give your mind and muscles a chance to reset.
Think of it as running’s version of active rest: gentle, steady, and surprisingly powerful.
Lace up, take it easy, and let’s enjoy the miles that remind us why we run.
