Description

Is your running journey stuck in a cycle of start-and-stop?


If you've ever felt fired up on Monday only to lose all steam by Wednesday, you are not alone. Most runners face a critical breaking point—a moment where the initial excitement fades and discipline is tested.


In this deep-dive episode, I define what motivation truly is (and why relying on "feeling inspired" is a recipe for failure). We uncover the surprising, evidence-based reasons why a significant number of people quit running in their first six months.


You'll learn:

* The critical shift from external rewards to internal drive.

* The single biggest training mistake that guarantees burnout and injury.

* The science-backed principle used by elite marathoners to achieve unbelievable consistency.

* Three practical, psychology-based tools you can use today to make running a habit that sticks.


Stop fighting the urge to quit. Start training smarter and discover the motivation code that turns fleeting interest into lifelong endurance.
