Running Through Grief: How Small Steps Built Consistency and Strength
Welcome to the very first episode of Through Endurance We Conquer! In this episode, I’m sharing the deeply personal story of how I turned to running during one of the hardest times of my life—after losing my closest friend. What started as a desperate attempt to cope with grief became the foundation for a journey that changed everything.
We’ll talk about the power of small, consistent actions, how running helped me heal, and how pushing through one tough run became a turning point in my life. Whether you’re new to running, coming back after a break, or just looking for inspiration, this episode is for you.
At the end, I’ll give you a simple challenge to help you take that first step—because big changes start small.
