Not every mile is fast. Not every mile is easy. But the ones that change us are always worth it.
Good Miles, hosted by Alexis Sedgwick, is a podcast about the pursuit of becoming—through running, wellness, and the habits that shape a meaningful life. With thoughtful stories and reflections, each episode explores discipline, resilience, recovery, and the quiet moments that often matter most. Because growth isn't always loud, and the best miles aren't always the fastest. ~ New episodes every Tuesday ~
The work that changes you is usually the work nobody sees. In this episode, Alexis Sedgwick gets honest about invisible progress, self-validation, and the frustration of putting in effort without seeing immediate results. From easy runs and early mornings to school, injuries, and the small habits that build discipline, she explores why some of the most important growth happens off-camera and off the scoreboard. If you’ve ever wondered whether your effort is actually making a difference, this episode is a reminder that progress doesn’t always show up right away—and sometimes the miles that seem the least important are doing the most work.

She talks about learning to listen to warning signs, the difference between pushing through discomfort and pushing too far, and how patience, rehab, and cross-training become part of the process. Whether you’re an athlete recovering from an injury or someone who tends to ignore the signs that they need a break, this episode is a reminder that taking your body seriously now can save you from a much bigger setback later.

| Mile 05 | The Space Between Starting and Succeeding
Progress can feel invisible long before it becomes real. In this episode, Alexis Sedgwick talks about what it’s like to feel stuck in sports, school, and everyday life, and how to recognize the difference between a plateau and burnout. She explores why rest is an important part of progress, how small changes in training can help you move forward, and why growth often happens before you can actually see the results. If you’re feeling frustrated, behind, or like your hard work isn’t paying off yet, this episode is a reminder that slow progress is still progress.

| Mile 04 | Your Pace Was Never the Problem
Your race time is not your identity. In this episode, Alexis Sedgwick talks honestly about the pressure of PR culture, comparison, “trackflation,” and the expectation to constantly get faster. She explores how tools like Strava can fuel comparison, why mindset and self-talk matter, and what it means to keep loving your sport even when the results aren’t what you hoped for. Through a difficult personal experience with injury, regression, and a heartbreaking race, Alexis shares why one bad performance—or even one bad season—doesn’t define you or your future.

| Mile 03 | Motivation Fades. Discipline Remains.
Motivation gets the credit, but discipline is what actually gets you out the door when you don’t feel like it. In this episode, Alexis Sedgwick explores the difference between motivation and discipline through real experiences from school, cross-country, rainy runs, tough workouts, and the days when everything feels harder than it should. She talks about how keeping the promises you make to yourself can build confidence, self-respect, and momentum—and why comparison and bad days don’t have to define your progress. Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that growth isn’t always visible right away, but consistently showing up can create change long before you see the results.
