Being connected to your “why” is going to be the central way to stay consistent and enjoy the process. As runners, we are type A, competitive, and perfectionists, and it is easy to get carried away on the performance aspect of running and lose sight to why we do it in the first place.  In this episode, run coach,  Bobby Milioto will discuss  

• Bobby’s approach as a run coach and how it helps with more than just running
• How to learn what your “why” is
• Benefits to focusing on a mindset that is not centered around perfectionism 
• How to balance focusing on your “why” while still also being a competitive runner 

Bobby Milioto is a running coach and personal trainer that believes the mind is just as strong and essential as the body. They must work together in harmony to give us opportunities of personal growth and discovery. He created Vivid Running based off these core values. As a United States Navy veteran, father, and husband, he has learned the importance of discipline and consistency, but also compassion and empathy. Bobby's training regime ensures his clients stay balanced with a health-derived nutrition plan, challenging and empowering running schedules, dynamic workout routines and most importantly, a clear and healthy mind. He is your personal running therapist!

Bobby has found his purpose through coaching, being a part of someone else’s evolution, finding their love for running and fitness, and motivating them to cross their own finish lines.
