9. When the Numbers Let You Down: Shifting Your Mindset Around Pace

 In this episode of Your Running Coach with GMacSpurr, Coach G is diving into a common emotional hurdle for runners—feeling disappointed by your running data.If you've ever looked at your pace and thought, "I'm not fast enough," you're not alone. Coach G breaks down how those thoughts can quietly chip away at your confidence, enjoyment, and even your consistency over time. This episode offers practical mindset shifts and prompts to help you reframe the numbers and reconnect with the real effort it takes just to show up, especially on hard days. In a world that glorifies “faster equals better,” this episode is your reminder that pace is only one part of the picture, and it certainly doesn’t define your worth as a runner. Links:- Join the Summer Consistency Reset {limited spots}- Re-write your running story with The Runner Identity Project (aka TRIP)- Curious about what coaching could do for you?
