#68: Why are you doing this?! Getting through tough situations by focusing on why you are doing it
About this episode
Do you know why you run? The reason might be deeper than you think. It may be multi-faceted. And that's a good thing because knowing that will help you when things get tough.
And running always gets tough at some point - we have a tough session or race, or we get sick or injured or maybe life just gets in the way.
This episode will help you to be stronger in those moments when it feels difficult like closing out the last 5k of a marathon or just getting outside when the weather is terrible.
In today's episode, I talk about why it is imperative to know your reasons to run and how that can affect the importance you place on running and the things you do around it to support it.
I'll also take you through common reasons and discuss that there may be a hierarchy to the reasons we assign to running that allows us to place it in the context of the rest of life.
