Episode Details

This week isn’t a pity party—it’s a playbook. Kyle shares a candid knee update and then flips the script: how to stay a runner when you can’t log miles. We lay out a bench-time training plan (knee-friendly strength, core, and cardio), the recovery foundations that actually accelerate healing, and simple PT markers to track progress without obsessing over pace. You’ll get a quick checklist of smart questions to ask your surgeon or PT, plus practical ways to stay plugged into the running community even while sidelined. We wrap with a micro-goal scorecard to keep your head right and your comeback intentional. If you’re benched, burned out, or just between seasons—this episode hands you the roadmap.
