Summer is here.

The humidity is oppressive.

Your shoes are permanently damp.

Your long run started three hours ago and somehow you're still not back at the car.

This week on The Running Mullet, we're talking about maintaining your mojo in midsummer. When the novelty of race season wears off, the weather gets brutal, and the training calendar starts feeling more like a chore than an adventure, how do you keep showing up?

We want your stories:

🔥 What's the craziest thing you've ever done to boost morale during a run or race?

😂 What's the best pacer shenanigans you've ever witnessed (or committed)?

🏃 What's the wildest thing you've done to trick yourself into getting more miles? Accidental out-and-backs? Loop math? Promising yourself "just one more mile" seventeen times?

🍕 What's the most worth-it bribe you've used on a friend—or on yourself—to finish a training run? Food? Coffee? Race registration? Cold beverages? Questionable promises?

Whether your midsummer mojo comes from friends, snacks, or stubbornness, we want to hear about it. Drop your answers below and we'll share some of our favorites on this week's episode, airing Monday at 7:30pm EST, or wherever you get your podcasts after the show.
