This week on Running with James, we wrap up our Back to the Basics series with the mindset that separates casual runners from champions: consistency.

Motivation gets you started—but discipline keeps you going. In this episode, James and Lauren talk about how to build lasting habits, stay consistent through the ups and downs, and develop the mindset that leads to real growth.

We’ll break down what the science says about habit formation, why the “21-day rule” is a myth, and how long it really takes to build unstoppable momentum.

Whether you’re training for your first race or your next PR, this episode will help you push past the mental roadblocks and find the discipline to keep showing up—even when you don’t feel like it.


👉 Because motivation is a spark, but consistency builds champions.
