Running With Creative Endurance

Are you feeling the burnout from your runs? Ready to harness effective strategies for enduring creativity and commitment to your running?  Lately, I’ve been feeling and thinking all of this and that’s what inspired me to reach out to Mike Schnaidt, a seasoned designer and marathon runner whose recent book, “Creative Endurance” outlines a series of ideas and methods you can deploy to reignite or keep your imagination, spirit, and sense of innovation or breakthrough flowing.  If you haven’t read the book yet, this conversation is designed to have a similar effect - equipping you with mindset tools to help power you through any challenging situation in your running journey. Specifically, Mike and I talk about: the inspiration behind "Creative Endurance" and what led him to write a book that in parts reflects on the intersection of creativity and endurance sports? the connection between physical activity and creative thinking and how exactly endurance sports foster creativity stories and insights from high-profile people that illustrate the power of creativity in athletic breakthroughs  practical tips and exercises from the book that listeners can implement to boost their creativity in running And much more. Think of “Creative Endurance” as a unique guide to achieving your running goals and thriving in your running journey without compromising your well-being.  Connect, Comment, Community Follow RunnersConnect on Instagram Join the Elite Treatment where you get first dibs on everything RTTT each month!
