I Ignored the Pain… Here’s What It Cost Me | 5 Running Lessons

I ignored the knee pain during half marathon training… and it cost me more than I expected. If you’re a runner over 40, rebuilding after injury, or chasing a PR, these 5 lessons might save your season. In this episode of Second Half Strong, I’m sharing the five hard lessons I learned from running through pain, increasing mileage too fast, skipping recovery, and letting one race become too important. I’ve run through hard things before.... even 10 miles with a broken arm. But this training cycle humbled me in a different way. Here’s what running the hard way taught me: 1️⃣ Strength without wisdom is stubbornness 2️⃣ Fitness builds fast. Tendons don’t. 3️⃣ Consistency beats intensity 4️⃣ Recovery is training 5️⃣ One race is not your identity I also share an update on our paused push-up challenge, Stephen’s injury, and what this rebuilding phase looks like right now...including the run/walk intervals I’m using to return safely. If you’re in a comeback season, this is your reminder: longevity matters more than ego. 👟 In This Video: Half marathon training mistakes Running through knee pain Injury recovery for runners over 40 Why recovery is part of training How to rebuild using run/walk intervals Midlife endurance and sustainable progress 💬 Let’s Talk What’s something running has taught you the hard way?
