Ep 64: Three Things to Stop Doing this December when It Comes to Your Running, with Coach Michelle Quirk of Mindful Marathon

from Mindful Marathon Podcast · host Michelle Quirk, MD

December can feel like one of the hardest months to stay consistent with your running. Between colder temperatures, darker mornings, holiday stress, and disrupted routines, so many runners feel like they’re “falling behind.” In this episode, Coach Michelle shares three things she wants you to stop doing this month - habits and mindsets that make winter running harder than it needs to be. And, she'll give you the tools to reframe your mindset and what to start doing instead. You’ll walk away feeling grounded, encouraged, and reminded that you are not behind. You’re simply in a different season, and you can be flexible with yourself in this season. You are allowed to slow down, shift goals, and honor your energy. You’re not losing fitness. You’re adapting to the season.   Sign up for Coach Michelle's upcoming workshop, Running Resolutions: Turning Dreams into Distance. On December 11th, Coach Michelle will be leading a live, guided workshop, where we’ll create meaningful, realistic running goals for the new year. Perfect if you’re craving a reset, structure, or a fresh start. Register here: https://mindful-marathon.com/workshop To work with Coach Michelle, head to her website and click on Contact Me: https://www.mindful-marathon.com Stay up to date with Coach Michelle's adventures by following Mindful Marathon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Mindful.Marathon *** The information contained in this podcast is intended to serve as educational information and is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
