Bonus Smiles S1E12: Reflection 2

Welcome to Bonus Smiles! A music and interview show that’s fueled by runners and their playlists! I’m Public Radio Runner. This reflection episode explores the notion of motivation in the context of running. Laura Green starts the conversation asking what motivation has to do with running versus dedication. But motivation isn’t a monolith and dedication is more than showing up; in fact, understanding the different flavors of motivation and dedication may be the key to a sustainable long term enjoyment of the sport. To better understand these nuances, we’re going back to Laura’s 7th grade dance for a seemingly disparate and absurd story about that boy is mine.
