#45 - Habits and Building Consistency in Running & Training

Eric starts off the podcast with the most controversial topic in the history of the Any Given Runday podcast. Why you SHOULD put pineapple on a pizza and it's a hill he's willing to die on!With it arguably being the first day of Spring, Seán & Eric talk about why now, as opposed to January, is a good time to start getting into running and how to build good habits to keep consistency in your running. Talking about James Clear's Atomic Habits, we talk about habits being about repetition and tactics to implement repetition into your running and training. Seán talks about his struggles starting to run and his continued struggles to get out for a run but how the repeatability of the same habits and routines can get him out with little resistance and how these are "trigger habits".Eric talks about his struggles with nutrition and how he learned that you "don't have to be the most disciplined person but you have to make it easier to make the right choices."Why you should always make your important decisions in the mornings.Why you shouldn't take your readings from your smartwatch as gospel and learning to listen to your body. Sean gives advice on how to ease back into your training if you haven't had the most productive month, fitness-wise, in January. Especially if you are only starting to run. Eric ends the podcast with an "idea" along with strongly encouraging you to try pineapple on a pizza!And if you are looking for Online Coaching in 2021, we have a team of experts ready to help you along your fitness journey!
