Episode 572 - 2026 Delirious Series - Check-In 3 with Eve Knudson: Consistency, Comparison & Finding Your Groove

In this third Delirious WEST 2026 check-in, I catch up with the ever-thoughtful Eve Knudson, and honestly… this is one of those conversations that reminds you why we run.

Fresh off the Three Inch race, Eve shares how a day that “wasn’t meant to be a big deal” turned into one of those magic runs where everything just clicks — the legs feel good, the pacing makes sense, the fueling works, and suddenly you realise… maybe the training is actually working.

We talk about the power of simple consistency, why Eve has stopped getting caught up in Strava comparison, and how doing less (but regularly) is often more than enough when your goal isn’t to win — it’s to keep showing up and enjoying the process.

There’s also plenty of real-life honesty: summer heat in WA, holiday routines, mental fatigue, getting lost on trails, strength training avoidance (very relatable), and the logic gymnastics of spending $18 on coffee but hesitating over a gym membership 😂.

As Delirious WEST creeps closer, Eve’s focus is clear: keep running a few times a week, train smart in the heat, avoid comparison traps, and stay excited. No pressure. No overthinking. Just steady, joyful forward motion.

A beautiful reminder that you don’t need to do everything — you just need to keep doing something.
