Having a strong identity as a runner, in and of itself, isn\u2019t a negative trait. In fact, it\u2018s an advantage when we are healthy and running well because being all in on achieving our goals can propel us toward being our best.
\nHowever the pitfall comes when we allow our sense of purpose to fully hinge on our success, or lack thereof, as a runner. By not holding our passion for running with a well-rounded sense of purpose, spanning all aspects of our entire being can bring mental challenges, during CV19, injuries, a race that didn\u2019t go to plan etc.
\nIn this conversation, with Psychotherapist Vida Weinstein, we explore the ideas behind the runners identity, and give advice of how runner\u2019s can positively deal with the challenges faced during CV19.
