In this episode of the Rambling Runner Podcast, host Matt Chittim discusses the balance between skill development and enjoyment in running. He emphasizes the importance of marginal gains while also highlighting the need for runners to find joy and adventure in their training. By comparing running to other sports like basketball and golf, Matt illustrates that focusing solely on skill can lead to burnout and a loss of passion for the sport. He encourages listeners to embrace both structured training and spontaneous, enjoyable running experiences.
