Become a Runner Class, Day 2, Beginner Runner Motivation
Episode description
Every runner of every level needs a constant stream of motivation, but if you're thinking that's harder for beginner runners, you would be right.
The fact is that once you establish the habit of running, which experts say takes 28 days, then the habit takes over, and you only occasionally need more of a boost than that.
Beginners haven't yet established the habit, and that means you need extra help. In this episode, I provide seven techniquest to keep you motivated to get out the door.
Truth is, the longer you run, the more ingrained that habit becomes, and most of the time it's harder not to run. Honestly, it's like brushing your teeth 'most' days. That's the good news; that's the great news, but you'll need some extra help in the first few weeks, and that's the goal of this podcast, to provide tips for staying motivated.
For a more extensive discussion of motivation, here is a longer podcast I did a while back.
