Episode 59: Running Isn't Boring (But Some Runners Are).

I hear it. I hear it all the time. Running is boring. No. No, it's not. Running the same run every day will get boring though. Running the same pace every day will probably get boring. Running with no purpose, running that's always too hard, running that's always too easy... yes, all of those things done consistently can lead to one thinking that running is boring. But, let me tell you this... it ain't the running that's boring. It's the runner. It's not running that's deciding to do those things! It's the runner!

This episode breaks down how we can become boring runners and more importably how to make sure you don't become a boring runner and how to keep your running fresh. Sounds like a great episode, right? Well, it's even better than what you're thinking! Because there is a Mindset Minute with coach tammie bennett of the Show Up Society!

Enjoy the episode!

Cheers,
Coach Bennett
