It happens to newbies and veterans, it happens because something significant occurs or nothing at all, it happens after a race or because you haven’t run one in a while. We all lose our motivation to run from time to time, and well…it’s Steven’s time. Anthony asks good questions as they seek to get to the bottom of why this is happening to Steven right now, and they both share practical tips on how to face the block and conquer it. Plus a ton of fun stuff along the way.

Is it our bodies or minds that are to blame when we can’t fall (or stay) asleep? We dig deep into an issue that has plagued us for years, and has been a major block to our running, and we not only get philosophical, spiritual, and reflectual (?), we get super practical. Put away your screens, put on your sunglasses and enjoy! Unless it’s late, then go to sleep and enjoy tomorrow.
