Welcome to The Intuitive Runner Podcast: Guided Runs for Every Pace, where each episode combines a guided workout with expert insights into the world of running and fitness. In this 45-minute Easy Run (Zone 2), we dive into the complexities of fitness culture and the damaging effects of all-or-nothing thinking. We’ll explore the toxic narratives surrounding “no days off,” the obsession with pushing harder, and the notion that success demands constant physical depletion. In this episode, we’ll cover:

• The dangers of all-or-nothing thinking in fitness and the pursuit of perfection
• How to challenge the myth that fitness success requires relentless effort and “no days off”
• Understanding the connection between exercise obsession and disordered eating
• Identifying unhealthy beliefs about rest, food, and body image
• Strategies for breaking free from comparison culture and finding internal motivation
• How to cultivate joy in exercise and develop a healthier, more sustainable relationship with fitness

This run includes a dynamic warm-up, cooldown, and consistent form cues throughout to guide your movement. And remember, this workout can be adapted for any cardio mode—walking, cycling, rowing, and more—by following the suggested effort levels.
