In this episode, we delve into the emotional foundation of actions, discussing how all actions are fundamentally driven by emotions, particularly fear and love. We explore how a fear-based approach to running can lead to unsustainable actions, stress, and potential injury, and identify fear-driven motivations in both beginners and experienced runners.

We also highlight how a love-based approach fosters a healthier, more sustainable running practice and overall lifestyle. Running is emphasized as a means to connect with oneself, God, and others. The episode encourages listeners to reflect on their motivations and make conscious, love-driven choices for a joyful, healthy life.

Tune in to learn how to shift your mindset from fear to love and transform your running and life into a more fulfilling and balanced experience.
