Happy New Year! Strap in, this ones a good one - and please don't talk to us about new years resolutions.

This week Kirsty and I tackle the quagmire around motivation vs discipline, routine and consistency and try to work out how to make running more like Duolingo because we all love Duolingo right? There are some really interesting questions and comments from the listeners and we share why the language you use around your training is as important as your training itself and how doing the basics well will change the game.

We've also got some suggestions for Ultra specific strength training - we'd love you to send us yours! Kirsty's book recommendations are available on her Instagram page which is @kirstyreade72 and please keep sending us your questions and conundrums and let us know what you think about consistency via our Instagram (@runningwontsaveyoupod) or on email [email protected]. We would also love you to leave us a review wherever you get your pods.
