Let's be real, motivation is just a fleeting feeling. It's what gets you out the door on a sunny Saturday morning, but it's not what keeps you going when the rain sets in and your legs are screaming at you. What gets you through the tough times is habit and discipline. So, instead of waiting for motivation to strike, just lace up and get out there. The rest will follow. I've found that the less I think about 'otivation', the better I perform. Just show up, do the work, and let the results speak for themselves.
Couldn't agree more. I used to rely on motivation to get me out the door, but it's a unreliable friend. Now, I just focus on showing up and putting in the work. It's amazing how much more consistent I've become. Habit and discipline are what separate the runners from the wannabes.
Exactly, habit and discipline are key. I've found that once you make running a part of your routine, it becomes second nature. You don't need motivation to get out the door, you just do it. And yeah, consistency is a huge benefit. I've seen improvements in my own running since I stopped relying on motivation and just focused on showing up.
Exactly, consistency is key. I've seen too many people wait for motivation to start a training plan, only to give up when it wears off. Habit and discipline are what get you to the finish line.
Preach! I've been saying this for years. Motivation is just a myth perpetuated by Instagram quotes and running blogs. At the end of the day, it's about putting in the work, day in and day out. No amount of motivational speeches or quotes can replace the discipline of showing up and doing the work. Good to see others who get it.
Couldn't agree more. I've fallen into the trap of waiting for motivation to hit me, but it never does. It's the daily habit of getting out there and putting in the miles that makes the difference. No fancy quotes or speeches needed, just plain old discipline.
I'm with you on this. Motivation is overrated. It's all about creating a routine and sticking to it, no matter how you feel. I've had days where I didn't want to run, but I laced up anyway. And you know what? It wasn't always great, but it was better than nothing. Consistency is key, not some fleeting feeling of motivation.
