The Extra Mile! The question Jenni gets asked most...

Jenni Falconer hosts a bonus episode of RunPod, answering a frequently asked question: why do you enjoy running? She appreciates the curiosity behind the question, indicating that it reflects a desire to understand the joy of running rather than seeking permission to start. Falconer candidly shares her experience, acknowledging that not every run is enjoyable—even after over 30 years of running. She explains that enjoyment usually emerges when the pressure of pace is lifted, when runners explore new routes, or when they share the experience with a friend. She encourages listeners to embrace slower, easier runs and reminders that enjoyment in running is found in the less intense moments—like those happy, carefree runs on vacation. Ultimately, she reassures listeners that enjoyment will come with patience and time.
