When summer throws you off your plan, what do you do?

In this episode, we're talking about the real life challenges that come with training during the summer months. Whether it's the heat, the kids being off school, BBQs every weekend, a hectic work schedule, or just a general lack of motivation… it can feel like your goals are slipping away.

But it's not about giving up, it's about adapting.

We're sharing practical tips, mindset shifts, and strategies we use with our own clients so you can keep training consistently, even when life throws a few curveballs your way.

Let's turn those lemons into progress. Because the most successful runners aren't the ones with perfect conditions, they're the ones who've made the situation work for them.
