    Episode 3: In this episode of the Kinda Fast Podcast, Claire and Travis dive into what it’s really like to start over in running—whether you’re coming back from injury, burnout, or just life.

Coach Dean also weighs in with practical nutrition tips that actually work. Real talk, real grace, and real encouragement for anyone hitting reset. New episodes drop every Friday. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch the video version on the Upward Running YouTube channel.
