running motivation

One of the most polarizing topics in running is the treadmill. Some love the comfort of running indoors while others find this machine boring or monotonous, giving it a nickname in the running community as the “dreadmill”. Wherever you stand on this debate, it can be a useful tool for training that provides consistency and control over your runs. 

We’re right in the middle of winter right now and if you live in a cold climate, you’re almost certain to have days where cold and snow make running outside uncomfortable, or even unsafe. This applies to other climate as well like extreme heat or wind. On these days it can be extremely useful to make use of the treadmill. Even if you don’t own a treadmill, most gyms will have plenty of them and typically offer day-passes for those without a membership. 

In today’s show, we’re going to hear from real runners like you with their best tips to keep treadmill running fun and make it a part of their running routine. We asked our RC audience to tell us how they make their treadmill runs more enjoyable and we got some great answers. Over the course of this episode we’ll cover:

• The benefits and drawbacks of treadmill running
• How real RC listeners use the treadmill in training, including their favourite workouts
• And we’ll hear from our audience about their best strategies for making treadmill running more fun

Ask yourself - do you get enough green veggies each day?

I'll admit, I don't. It's tough to fit all of those greens in with an active and busy lifestyle. But getting in your fruits + veggies is SO crucial as a distance runner for recovery, digestion, and optimal performance.

That's where Athletic Greens is a gamechanger. One scoop has 75 bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and whole food-sourced ingredients including a multivitamin, multimineral, probiotic, green superfood blend, and more.

That means fewer stomach issues, more focus and energy throughout the day (because the workday matters just as much as the morning run), and overall ... just feeling healthier.

Look, if you're struggling to get those fruits + veggies in - or if you keep buying them but they always go bad in the fridge - Athletic Greens will make getting those micronutrients simple and delicious.

We're diving headfirst into a topic every runner faces at some point: the infamous "motivation slump." You know those days when your running shoes seem heavier than ever, and your energy levels are as flat as a pancake?

You're not alone in this, folks. We all experience those moments when we just don't want to lace up and hit the pavement. First and foremost, let's recognize that it's perfectly normal! Running is a demanding sport, both physically and mentally. Even the most seasoned runners have days when they'd rather cozy up on the couch than conquer the trails.

So, what do we do when our running mojo has taken a vacation? 

1. Find Your "Why"

2. Do a "Check-Up"

3. Mix It Up

4. Buddy System

5. Reward Yourself:

Motivation ebbs and flows, but what sets you apart is your commitment to keep moving forward, even when it's tough. We all have off days, but they're the stepping stones to our proudest moments. So, when motivation runs dry, remind yourself of the incredible feeling you get post-run—the rush of endorphins, the sense of accomplishment, and the simple joy of being a runner.

Keep running, keep thriving, and keep embracing the extraordinary world of running. Until next time, happy trails!

"I suggest that you become obsessed about the things you want; otherwise, you are going to spend a lifetime being obsessed with making up excuses as to why you didn’t get the life you wanted." - Grant Cardone

If you've ever said, "I just don't feel motivated to work out" or "I just don't feel like running", or "I'm just not a running kind of person", this episode is for you!

Using lessons from Atomic Habits by James Clear, we discuss-

• How if you are having trouble with motivation it's not you, it's your systems
• Why small, seemingly insignificant changes make the biggest difference
• What a habit loop is and how it applies to working out

Running is hard, especially after age 40. If you are looking for some tricks to help you show up and do the work, even if it's less than you want to at first, you should listen in!

Visit https://runningwithgrit.com for more information on running after age 40!

A few easy shifts in the words you say to yourself and others can make a HUGE impact on your running life and personal well-being.

There is energy behind the words we use- are you going to use words that fuel you with positive energy or those that zap you and put you in a negative state of being?

If you need a little extra running motivation, try changing the words you use. The words spoken or said in your head make you feel a certain way.

We share 5 quick and easy 'word switches' to give you some extra inspiration for running, working out, eating well, and just getting through the day and week.

What running inspirational quotes or motivational tricks do you use to keep yourself moving?

1. Determine your motivating force.

What's your why, your passion, the vision beyond the vision, as I call it? You must have a reason to succeed; one that touches the deepest levels of your being. Before you begin every project explore the big picture. Why is it so important to you? What will you lose if you don't keep going? If you commit to something, just because you should, you will look back upon failure.

2. Tap into the energy of others.

If you feel tired, uninspired, even like giving up, I challenge you to examine the mindset of those around you. Do conversations with your closest companions renew your energy or drain it? Do you have people in your life who can engage in stimulating conversation about business or the other things that you're passionate about?

As human beings we give and receive energy and inspiration. Make sure you are receiving as much, or more, than you are handing out.

3. Get your thoughts organized.

When I'm working on a big project, nothing zaps my energy more than an over-stimulated, cluttered mind. This is an easy state for entrepreneurs to fall into because we are so full of ideas and strategies: your mind can go in a million directions and all of them seem viable at the time.
