Ever felt like your love for running tipped into obsession? Like your worth was tied to your pace, your mileage, or your latest race result? In this episode, Tommy dives deep into the fine line between healthy dedication and toxic obsession.

He shares his own story of pushing too hard, the injuries that followed, and how he rebuilt a healthier, more sustainable relationship with running. We talk motivation, discipline, and the importance of not taking it too seriously — because longevity in running is about balance, not burnout.

Whether you're an ultra runner, a weekend warrior, or just someone who loves the grind, this one's for you. Let’s find the joy in running without letting it run our lives. 🔥✨
