Why is running so hard—mentally??
In this episode, we dive into the biggest mental barriers that stop people from running (or sticking with it). From motivation struggles to the mind games of endurance, we chat about what makes running feel impossible some days and effortless on others.
Grant is my opposite in this, he doesn't ever seem to struggle for motivation! So we're exchanging tips on pushing past mental roadblocks, staying motivated, and actually enjoying the run.
