I didn\u2019t run track or do cross country. In fact, I specifically started running because it was something that didn\u2019t require me to be part of a team. Running was something I could do for physical fitness entirely by myself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">As a result, I never really saw it as a serious thing. I didn\u2019t think I was particularly fast, and since it was the \u201990s, I didn\u2019t have an easy way to track my pace or miles. However, running was a physical activity that allowed me to control how hard I pushed myself, and since I was only running for me, I didn\u2019t have to worry about what other people thought.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">So of course, I pushed myself really hard. Part of this was just my built-in, type-A personality. But part of it was that I approached running as a way to try and control my weight.<\/p>\n<h2>When Running Became About Being Smaller<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">By the time I started running in high school, I had a raging eating disorder. I desperately wanted to be thinner and smaller, so I used the two things I had some control over to try and achieve those goals\u2014starving myself and exercising as hard as I could.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I know now that exercise isn\u2019t the most effective way to lose weight, but given that I was also significantly limiting my calorie intake, it would have been hard for me to prove otherwise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In spite of my antagonistic approach to running, I kept at it after high school when I moved to New York City for college. I\u2019d run loops around the reservoir, carrying my Discman and playing mix CDs while I ran in the hot midday sun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Running stuck with me when I moved back to DC to train to become a yoga teacher. Eventually, I was able to start tracking my pace and mileage, which allowed me to push harder and race against myself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I started running 5K Turkey Trots, then 10Ks, and eventually the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler. I didn\u2019t know much about fueling for those longer races because fueling my runs was never my goal. Faster, harder, smaller was my goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Honestly, it\u2019s amazing that I never fainted during or after a race, given how I treated running and my body at the time. I was very lucky.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I also ran through the first trimester of all three of my pregnancies and restarted running within two months postpartum after each.<\/p>\n<h2>Realizing My Relationship With Running Needed to Change<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It wasn\u2019t until my third postpartum running experience that things started to change for me. And it wasn\u2019t immediate. It was a slow journey of realizing that how I was running was hurting my body, not helping it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Actually, a few things shifted when I was postpartum with my third and last child. First, I realized how little I wanted to \u201cbounce back.\u201d I was tired of playing diet culture games with my body. I wanted to be strong, not small. I wanted to treat my body with care and respect, not fear or contempt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And even still, it took years to really disentangle myself from the many tentacles of unhealthy beliefs and habits that had been lodged within me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Perhaps unsurprisingly, my relationship with running was one of the hardest to resolve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I think part of the reason is that my relationship with running was never actually a healthy or positive one. Running started as a way to push myself, but in a punishing sort of way, and it stayed that way, even as I made progress in other areas of my mental health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Even as I was eating more and lifting weights and trying to rewire old patterns and the beliefs that created them, I still hung onto some old, unhelpful running behaviors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Of course, it impacted how running felt in my body. I\u2019d often feel fully depleted on run days, sometimes getting nasty migraines that sidelined me for the rest of the day. I sustained injuries that were clearly running-related, even as I was getting physically stronger thanks to my increased strength training.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And yet, I wasn\u2019t entirely willing to give up running because, it turns out, I actually enjoy running.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">So instead, I decided I needed to change how I approached it.<\/p>\n<h2>How I Built a Healthier Relationship With Running<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">There are a few things I\u2019ve done over the past few years that have allowed me to rebuild a healthier relationship with running.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">To be clear, these are things that have worked for me personally. It\u2019s not a prescription so much as a way to reconsider what is important to each person who chooses to run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Some might seem obvious or intuitive, but they were not for me. I had to teach myself how to turn down the volume of my type-A tendencies and the harmful beliefs diet culture taught me in order to have a relationship with running that felt good and sustainable.<\/p>\n<h3>I Stopped Tracking Every Run<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The first and most impactful thing I did to change my relationship with running was to stop tracking my runs, except when I am training for a race.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That means for most of the year, I run without an app tracking my pace or mileage. It felt weird at first, not knowing when I\u2019d hit a mile or how fast I was going or even how far I\u2019d gone, but it was essential to quieting the type-A noise that typically motivates me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Running without tracking my pace has significantly taken the pressure off aiming for achievement every time I\u2019m out for a run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">When I am training for something and tracking my pace, I often have to remind myself that the goal is long-term sustainability and health, not speed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Choosing to run without tracking my pace is easily the best choice I\u2019ve ever made in regard to running.<\/p>\n<h3>I Set Boundaries Around When I Run<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I also set really clear boundaries around when I am willing to run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Since I run exclusively outdoors, most of these boundaries are temperature- and weather-related.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I will not run when it is below 28 degrees. That might seem arbitrary, but I\u2019ve figured out that any colder than 28 and my fingers never actually unfreeze, even when I am wearing good gloves. Plus, it just doesn\u2019t feel good in my body to run when it is significantly below freezing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I won\u2019t run in high heat either because my body really hates that. More often than not, running in high heat\u2014anything over 80 degrees\u2014makes me physically ill, even if I hydrate well. This means that late-morning or middle-of-the-day runs are out for much of the year, as it gets hot pretty quickly from late spring through late fall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I don\u2019t mind running in the rain or snow, but if it\u2019s raining hard, I won\u2019t run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The only non-weather-related boundary I have is that I won\u2019t run when I am bleeding heavily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I\u2019ve discovered that I typically cannot run on the heaviest bleeding day of my cycle. It\u2019s not an issue of pelvic or low back pain. I tend to get headaches if I run on the first or second day of my cycle. I\u2019m not sure why, and I don\u2019t have the same issue with lifting weights on heavy-bleed days. In fact, lifting heavy often makes my body feel better during my cycle. Something about running when I am bleeding a lot just doesn\u2019t feel good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I have made an exception for races, but it hasn\u2019t gone well. I ran my first half marathon on the second day of my period. I felt fine during the race but later felt like garbage. I had a headache that lasted two days. If I had to run another race during the bleeding part of my cycle, I probably still would, but I\u2019d seek out better recovery strategies to try to mitigate the headaches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I realize these boundaries are very limiting, but they are what allow me to run in a way that feels better and safer in my body.<\/p>\n<h3>I Let Myself Skip a Run\u2014or Stop Midway<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I\u2019ve learned how to give myself a pass on running when I\u2019m not feeling it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I no longer force myself to run just because it\u2019s a run day. I used to drag myself out for a run no matter what, but I no longer do that. Instead, I\u2019ll opt for a different movement practice that feels more in line with what my body wants or needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I\u2019ve also learned that it\u2019s okay to stop and take a break, something younger and unhealthier me never did. This has been a particularly tough thing for me to do, and I don\u2019t do it as often as I maybe could. But the fact that I even occasionally stop when my body needs a minute to recover before finishing my run is a big deal.<\/p>\n<h3>I Finally Learned to Fuel My Runs<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I am learning how to fuel my body for running.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This has been a process, and I\u2019m still working on it. I\u2019ve learned that it\u2019s important for me to have a little carb or sugar before I run, and I have a more carb-heavy breakfast post-run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I also learned how to fuel during my longer runs with gels and gummies, which has made it possible for me to run longer distances in a safer, stronger way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">My body runs better when I am feeding her.<\/p>\n<h3>I Strength Train to Support My Running<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The last thing I\u2019ll add is that while I don\u2019t work with a running coach to try to improve my pace, I do ask my strength coach\u2014Alison Heilig of <a href=\"https:\/\/milestogoathletics.com\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Miles to Go Athletics<\/a>, who is also the owner and editor of FBG\u2014to provide me with exercises that will help keep my knees and ankles happy when I am running.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">When I was having some knee issues prior to the half marathon I ran earlier this year, my coach gave me some exercises that not only cleared the pain but helped me run 13.1 miles without pain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Working with someone who is smart and knows <a href=\"https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.com\/2017\/05\/essential-strength-training-runners\/\">how to train for stronger, safer running<\/a> has helped me take running more seriously without sacrificing the values that have helped me rebuild my relationship with running.<\/p>\n<h2>Running Can Still Be Challenging Without Being Punishing<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I want to add that this isn\u2019t to say I no longer challenge myself as a runner or that I don\u2019t participate in races. I just don\u2019t put challenge front and center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I focus more on the experience of running and how it feels to me. I prioritize my mental and physical health over my ego.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It\u2019s also not to say that you can\u2019t be both competitive and have a healthy approach to running. I absolutely think you can. I\u2019ve seen people I deeply respect continue to push and challenge themselves as runners with their health at the forefront.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe someday I\u2019ll get there, too. But for now, I am really happy with the running practice I have rebuilt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.com\/2026\/09\/how-i-rebuilt-a-healthier-relationship-with-running\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been a runner for a long time, but it\u2019s taken me years to claim that identity.
