Be bold. Running

🟣 Discipline >Motivation

While we love a motivated runner… that motivation can lead to over training and injury.

Discipline is sticking to a structured training plan regardless of how you feel.

Motivation is a short emotional spark to run that comes and goes.

High emotional motivation often causes runners to push too hard, ignore pain, or dramatically increase mileage too fast because they feel inspired. They often skip important rest days or easy recovery paces, leading to overuse injuries like shin splints or stress fractures.

🟣 Be disciplined! TRUST a realistic training plan specifically for YOU… and run easy on easy days, and accepting rest as part of the training.

🟣 Mindset-Habits-Systems: If you are one of our 🟣be bold athletes on a training plan… you will hear Coach David’s speech! Disciplined runners have an ELITE mindset. They have a system in place rely on repeatable habits to set themselves up for success!

🟣 be bold.
