MWM Episode 74 - The Comparison Trap


Listen Later

Welcome back to another Midweek Motivation episode of the Run the Riot Podcast!

Today, we’re tackling a topic that hits home for so many of us—the comparison trap. Whether it’s at the starting line of your first ultra or while scrolling through Instagram, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking everyone else has it all together. But remember: Your race is YOUR race.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
  • Why comparison is natural but how it steals your joy
  • How social media can lead to unrealistic expectations
  • Why focusing on others distracts you from your own progress
  • How to stay in your lane and run your own race
  • The power of gratitude and celebrating your progress
  • The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday.

    Take a moment this week to celebrate how far you have come. Whether it is running, work, or life—acknowledge the progress you have made and keep moving forward.
