Kinda Running, Kinda Not: The Vacation Episode
<p>Vacation season is here, and in Episode 51 of the Kinda Fast Podcast, Claire and Travis tackle one of the biggest questions runners face this time of year: Should you keep training while you're away?</p><p>They kick things off by breaking down the term "Run-Cation" and why so many runners plan vacations around races, scenic routes, and new running adventures.

They discuss how to adjust your schedule without derailing your goals, when to use vacation as a cutback week, what gear to pack, how to safely explore new places on foot, and why consistency matters more than perfection when you're away from home.</p><p>Whether you're heading to the beach, traveling for a race, or simply trying to fit running into a busy vacation schedule, this episode will help you stay active, enjoy the journey, and keep your training in perspective.</p><p>Join the Upward Running community at upwardrunning.com/kindafast and use code KINDAFAST for 2 weeks free.</p>
