Let’s be honest: most runners don’t ask “Should I run when I’m sick?”
They ask, “How sick is too sick?”
Today, we’re answering that question before you turn a minor cold into a multi-week setback, and giving you a roadmap back to training after an illness.

Your phone might be the biggest thing holding your workouts back - and it’s not the music.

In this episode, we break down how phone notifications trigger stress, reduce focus, and quietly sabotage strength gains, skill development, and recovery. You’ll learn why even “positive” notifications impact performance, how distraction lowers training intensity, and simple, practical ways to use your phone intentionally instead of reactively.

We cover:

• Why notifications put your nervous system in stress mode
• How distractions lead to sloppy reps and longer rest times
• The difference between using your phone as a tool vs a trap
• Simple strategies like Do Not Disturb, airplane mode, and the one-check rule

If you want more focused, satisfying, and effective workouts — this episode is a must-listen.
