The holidays can feel like a minefield for runners—parties, travel, family dynamics, big emotions, endless food, disrupted routines… it’s a lot.

That’s why in this week’s episode, “The Holiday Survival Plan for Runners: Stay Lean, Stay Strong, Stay Sane,” I’m giving you a simple, realistic, no-nonsense plan to help you navigate the season with confidence.

This isn’t another “avoid the cookies” conversation.

This is about staying mentally grounded, honoring your goals, staying consistent with your training, and actually enjoying the holidays without feeling like you’re constantly battling temptation or starting over in January.

You’re going to learn how to handle parties, food pressure, travel, stress, emotional eating, and schedule chaos—without losing momentum and without feeling deprived.

If you want this holiday season to feel easier, calmer, and more intentional, you’re absolutely going to want to listen to this one.
