Description

December can feel like one of the hardest months to stay consistent with your running. Between colder temperatures, darker mornings, holiday stress, and disrupted routines, so many runners feel like they’re “falling behind.”


In this episode, Coach Michelle shares three things she wants you to stop doing this month - habits and mindsets that make winter running harder than it needs to be. And, she'll give you the tools to reframe your mindset and what to start doing instead.


You’ll walk away feeling grounded, encouraged, and reminded that you are not behind. You’re simply in a different season, and you can be flexible with yourself in this season. You are allowed to slow down, shift goals, and honor your energy. You’re not losing fitness. You’re adapting to the season.


 


Sign up for Coach Michelle's upcoming workshop, Running Resolutions: Turning Dreams into Distance.


On December 11th, Coach Michelle will be leading a live, guided workshop, where we’ll create meaningful, realistic running goals for the new year. Perfect if you’re craving a reset, structure, or a fresh start. Register here: https://mindful-marathon.com/workshop
