Episode 589 - 2026 Delirious Series - Check-In 3 with Eve Knudson – Strength, Flexibility & Fitting Training Around Real Life

In this Delirious WEST 2026 – Check-In 3 episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, we’re catching up with Eve Knudson to see how things are really tracking as training starts to gently ramp up.

Eve shares how she’s mixing running, strength training, swimming and trail time – without locking herself into a rigid weekly plan. Instead, she’s leaning into flexibility, planning ahead just enough, and fitting training around work deadlines, family life, and the occasional much-needed sleep-in ☕️

We chat about:

• Starting strength training again (and those early “is-this-an-injury?” niggles 😅)

• Why flexible planning beats strict schedules for busy runners

• Trail runs as time-on-feet, not pace pressure

• Navigating body scans, numbers, and staying mentally steady

• Cutting alcohol, sleeping better, and feeling stronger already

• Mandatory gear lists, pack stress, and trialling gear early

• Shoe rotation wisdom (and buying them on sale only 😉)

It’s an honest, grounded conversation about consistency over perfection – and doing what works for your life while keeping Delirious firmly in sight.

Big takeaway: You don’t need a perfect plan – you need a plan that bends without breaking.
