What happens when running becomes more than just a sport? In this episode of Running Tales, guest host Jason Bahamundi talks with ultra runner and content creator Heidi Baker about how running helps us process trauma, challenge social media pressures, and stay grounded in our identity. Heidi shares how she balances life as an athlete and a parent while managing a 10,000+ follower platform with authenticity and care.
They dive into mindset shifts that support long-term health and happiness in running, including debunking 100-mile training myths, avoiding burnout, and letting go of comparison traps on apps like Strava. The conversation also explores how trail culture has evolved and why keeping perspective matters more than pace.
This episode is perfect for endurance athletes who run for joy, growth, and connection.....not just PRs. If you're chasing meaning as much as miles, tune in.
