Run The Riot Podcast MWM Episode 77 - Boring Miles Matter
In this episode of Midweek Motivation, David gets real about the kind of training that doesn’t get likes on social media — the cold, quiet, ordinary miles. You know, the ones where you lace up before dawn, even when you're tired, sore, or just not feeling it. He reminds us why boring runs are the foundation of breakthrough performance and why ordinary effort, done consistently, is anything but small.
David breaks down four powerful truths:
-
Consistency builds capacity – showing up, even when it’s not glamorous, is where real growth happens.
-
Boring runs train your mindset – mental endurance is forged in the quiet miles, not race-day hype.
-
Small efforts compound over time – like compound interest, daily discipline adds up to massive long-term gains.
-
Love the process, not just the finish line – fulfillment comes from the journey, not just the medal.
He also shares insights from Atomic Habits and research from Strava and Frontiers in Psychology, plus a reminder from Galatians 6:9 to keep doing good — both in running and in life — because the harvest is coming.
