But that mindset can lead to burnout fast. In this episode of Dear Runner Bod, I’m joined by marathoner, mom of two, and run coach Olivia Garcia. Olivia started her running journey with no competitive background and has since transformed into an incredibly fast marathoner while balancing motherhood and life outside the sport. We talk about how she rebuilt her fitness after pregnancy and postpartum, why nursing can be an incredibly depleting phase for the body, and how she’s learned to pursue ambitious running goals without losing the joy of the sport. If you’ve ever felt pressure to keep up with other runners on social media or struggled with mom guilt while prioritizing your training, this conversation will feel incredibly validating. This episode is a reminder that your journey is your own and that the most sustainable progress often comes from tuning out the noise and trusting your body.
