EP. 64 - How to Continue Running When Motivation Changes & Preparing For a Late Race Start

For many athletes, late race starts can present a serious issue, and in some of the world's best marathons, such as the Boston Marathon, you may be awake for several hours before the race actually begins - a big change from your normal long run routine.  So, how do you set yourself up for success? Sara has the breakdown in this podcast episode, as she enters race week for Boston. Plus, listen in for some big success tips for running in the rain (you never know when conditions like that of the 2018 Boston Marathon will present themselves)!  And finally, the thing that prevents many people from stepping to the start line in the first place: motivation.  Whether you’re just getting into running or have been a runner for years, motivation will ebb and flow. It’s the nature of life. You may have a very busy season of life, work, and family - and in turn, running begins to take a back seat. How many of us can relate? Fortunately, our mind can rule the day and push us through periods of lacking motivation. This episode explains how! New releases of the Elevate Your Running podcast every Thursday!
