#309 If You Ran in 2025, You’ll Relate to This (July- Dec Best Of)
The second half of 2025 brought a different kind of energy to Any Given Runday from race-day nerves and strategies, post marathon blues and pitfalls, big challenges, and honest conversations about what really goes into endurance sport.
From first time marathoners to elite athletes, to caffeine, strength work, climbing the tallest peaks in the world, and ballsy strategies to endurance challenges, this episode captures some the lessons and the craic on the podcast from July through December.
Whether you’re deep in winter training, recovering from a big year, or already eyeing your next start line, this Best Of is a reminder that progress doesn’t come from one perfect session, it comes from showing up, learning, and staying curious.
Thanks again for making 2025 our biggest year yet. This one’s for the runners, the thinkers, and the ones still figuring it out.
