My guest for the final episode of 2021 is returning guest Amy Haas (@raceacrossthestates) to discuss staying motivated throughout the dark, cold winter. How DO we stay "motivated" during this time? What IS "motivation"?

• "After my fall races, I’m having trouble staying motivated because I don’t have a goal to work toward anymore"
• "My fall races tend to lead to overuse injuries which require patience and PT and limited running. How do I stay motivated?"
• "It's so hard to find time to run around the holidays, dealing with holiday foods, and running outside when it's snowy and icy!"
• "Running with my friend is the only way I know to stay motivated/accountable during the winter... how do I run solo?"
• Tips for creating intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation
• Practical tips for running in the winter
• ...and more!
