We’ve all done it—worn cotton socks on a long run, tried something new on race day, asked a Facebook group to diagnose our injury.

Runners are awesome… but we also do some pretty dumb stuff sometimes.

The good news? Every dumb mistake is just an opportunity to learn and grow.

In this episode of the Running Lean podcast, I’m laying out Dumb Stuff Runners Do (And What to Do Instead)—a light-hearted but brutally honest look at the common mistakes runners make that can lead to injury, burnout, or stalled progress.

No judgment here, because I’ve made most of these mistakes myself.

This is all about helping you train smarter, stay healthy, and become a stronger, more efficient runner.

If you’re ready to stop doing dumb stuff and start running with purpose, this episode is for you.
