“The best motivation has been run clubs for me. Getting that good mixture of socializing and physical fitness. Not only am I excited to go and see my friends, but I also run faster when I do!”
Tom
“Practice doing a smaller series of runs within a 24-hour period as you get closer to the event (such as running a short PM run, followed by a short AM run, and then another short PM run, all within 24 hours) so you can get familiar with running on tired legs (& then really tired legs - Lol).”
Angela
“My motivation is remembering we don’t have to, we get to. Consistency over perfection, always. And if all else fails, get a dog who loves to run.”
