3 Easy Tips to Stick with your Running Plan AND my favorite Instagram Reels right now!

How to Stick with Your Running Plan

The biggest challenge for many runners is staying motivated to run in the winter. This month is extra challenging because the weather is getting colder and the days are super short. PLUS the holidays add additional events, shopping and sometimes stress to our days.

But if you want to keep running this month – you have to be mindful of those hurdles and have a plan to get over them.

You are different from the next runner because your school, work, life, schedule, goals, etc… are unique to YOU. So these are ideas to help you, but the best way for you to succeed and become a better runner is to make the tools and tips work for your life.

No excuses. You got this.

Here are 3 Tips to Stay Motivated and Stick with your Running Plan

  1. GOALS. Write down your Long Term Goal and your Goal for this Month. Put it somewhere you’ll see it everyday. This is your ‘Why’ – the reason you want to stay on track.
  2. Plan! At the beginning of each week plan schedule what day and time you’ll run. If you’re following a training plan write out exactly what run or workout you have on schedule.
  3. Accountability. Choose 1 way you’ll hold yourself accountable. Examples: Texting a friend after your workout, Running with a Club or Checking in on social media. Bonus: You can check in by commenting on @RunEatRepeat Instagram post or tag me when you post on your account so I can see your updates!

    I am hoping to get back to running in the spring of 2021. I just had knee surgery but can’t wait to recover, heal, and get in PT to get back out there. Accountability is something from your list that I will incorporate in terms of my at-home PT exercises. If I don’t have my accountability buddy for that, I will ignore that part of my recovery and that is a bad thing! It is a great tip for whatever routine or goal – so thanks for that!

    I think I will sign up for a Spring marathon. I ran a 50k for Thanksgiving weekend and had so much fun seeing old friends. I used to live in NC and it is only 4 hours away. The group is hardcore runners and the events are in the middle of nowhere and it felt good to be around friends. I do so much better exercising when I have a goal to work towards!
