Goals are great. They can give us direction and focus.  They can keep us motivated and push us through rough patches.  However, goals need to be created carefully. Before a goal can be created, we have to decide on our life priorities and make sure that any goal fits with our overall values.  When you are satisfied with your life, but not working toward a goal, it is time to ask a bold question. Do you actually want to reach your goal?

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.  You must understand your past to take a look at how and where we can improve, but we must live in the present.  We can choose every moment to be a new person. The person we choose to be now creates the actions we choose and the results we have.

"I don’t run to add more years to my life, I run to add more life to my years".  - Ronald Rook

Don’t run to live, live to run!

With more reflection, experience, and miles completed, I think these popular running quotes sound nice, but I am not sure if they are correct.  Why do we need to choose? Running and life are so intertwined that success in one leads to success in the other. Why don’t we live to run and run to live?

 When the workout gets hard, the run gets long and tiresome, work is piling up, the family is pulling you every direction what story do you tell yourself?  Do you accept the overwhelm? Do you start making excuses before the poor performance has happened? Do you back off because it is just too hard or do you rise up and fight against the challenge because you are capable?

It is not the struggle of the moment that overwhelms us.  It is regret over something we cannot change and apprehension about what may come.  Live for the moment and the moment becomes easier. Decisions become clearer. “Can’t” simply disappears.  You current situation is not too much.

Sometimes it is possible to get so wrapped up in trying to be as prepared as you can, that you never actually reach the destination.  This is the problem with perfectionism. At it worst, perfectionism is a crutch that can be used to never actually have to take a risk. When you can take a break from the preparation and take real action, you can gain even greater knowledge. You gain deeper understanding and you can reach higher levels of success.  When you are waiting to be fully prepared, you never get anywhere.

Every workout is not a race.  Every plank is not a competition.  Every task should not require you to dig deep into the well and scrape out every bit of energy in the name of greatness.  This may sound like an episode on recovery, but it’s not. This is about the importance of comfortably difficult effort.

Sometimes good enough is just where you want to be.

Today’s episode may sound like just playing with words, but there is a mental perspective that is required to transform your training and your entire life.  You are in charge of your choices and your actions but you are not in control of the results. We have very little to no control over the outcome, but we are in charge of how we prepare and how we mentally handle the situation.  Like most things, this applies in both running and in life.

Without the bad, how can we appreciate the good?  

Bad days are going to happen.  There are days you do not want to get out of bed, days you feel sick, days your legs feel heavy, days your motivation is shot, days you are mentally fried and physically exhausted.  What are you supposed to do on those days? What happens to the goals and the consistency when you just aren’t feeling it that day?

This episode is a bit of a reality check.  As runners, we are motivated to push through pain and struggle.  That most of what the sport is about. So, while we cover the benefits of gutting it out and pushing through a rough patch, we also spend some time trying to decide when it is actually a good idea to pull back.  

First, let’s be clear.  Everyone struggles. From the new runners to the veteran elite, everyone as emotional and motivational ups and downs.  While you cannot control events that may sidetrack you, you can control how you...

Does it exist?  Your magic training plan for your next race that will guarantee your results?  

You need a plan that's right FOR YOU.  There are a lot of great plans out there, but which one is right for you?  Does it take YOU into consideration?  That needs to happen for you to find the magic plan.  

However, even if you have the perfect plan, there is still another aspect that many runners neglect.  Do you actually believe in it?  Have you fully bought in or are you sabotaging yourself along the way?  

Listen to today's episode to find out.
