Missing the Miles: What Injury Actually Feels Like
What happens when running—the thing that centers you, defines you, grounds you—gets ripped away? In this raw and unfiltered episode, Kyle opens up about the brutal reality of injury: two weeks sidelined, three races missed, and the anger that comes with watching your running crew cross finish lines without you. This isn't a "everything happens for a reason" pep talk. It's about the jealousy of scrolling through race photos, the guilt of letting your nutrition slip, the fear that you're losing everything you've worked for, and the mental warfare of wondering if you'll make it to Tokyo. If you've ever been injured, if you've ever felt like your body betrayed you at the worst possible time, or if you've ever had to sit on the sidelines while everyone else runs—this one's for you. No sugar coating. Just the truth about what injury actually feels like for runners who don't have time for setbacks but are facing them anyway.
