Mile 13: Relearning to Run
You have run marathons. You have logged the miles. Trusted the form your body settled into years ago. But what if that form isn’t fixed? What if it’s just… familiar?

This episode opens Part 4 of The Runner’s Paradox with a quiet provocation: maybe you’re not running wrong, but maybe you’re not running as well as you could.
We explore the idea that the body isn’t a machine to fine tune, but a living system that reorganises itself with the cues that we feed it. That running form isn’t destiny. It’s a journey that you co-author.
This isn’t a call to chase textbook form. It’s an invitation to evolve through patience, curiosity, and the courage to be uncomfortable.
