We’ve all been there — staring at our training plan, waiting for some magical surge of motivation to make it feel easier. 

But here’s the cold, hard truth: motivation isn’t coming. And if you’re relying on it to get you through your training, you’re setting yourself up for failure.  

In this episode, I go on a bit of a rant (but a necessary one!) about the mindset that holds so many runners back. I’ve been guilty of it, you’ve been guilty of it, and the sooner we recognize it, the sooner we can fix it.  

Ultra training is a long game, and if you’re constantly looking for bursts of excitement to carry you through, you’re in trouble. The athletes who succeed aren’t the ones who feel inspired every day—they’re the ones who put in the work, no matter what.  

So let’s strip it all down. Why do you think you need motivation? What’s the real thought behind your resistance to training? Because if you can identify it, you can change it. And that, my friend, is how you create momentum that actually lasts.  

Let’s go.!
