Shorten Your Horizon
If you’re coming back to running after a break—whether from injury, life getting busy, or just losing your mojo—the first step isn’t to pick up where you left off. It’s to meet yourself where you are now.
This episode is about ditching the fantasy comeback and setting real-world goals that fit your current energy, schedule, and life mess. We’re talking about working in shorter chunks of time, building momentum week by week, and letting go of those impossible “I used to…” expectations.
🔑 What We Cover:
- How to set realistic goals when life’s pulled you off track
- Breaking down that huge mountain of “getting back to where I was” into small, doable steps
- Why running isn’t just about medals or PBs—it’s about feeling energised, clearer, and healthier for the long haul
- How to run your training week like a feedback loop: review, adjust, move forward
- Why I coach my runners in 7–14 day blocks, not rigid 12-week plans
- Focusing on one habit at a time and letting that stick before layering on more
- Giving yourself permission to start where you are, not where you wish you were
💬 Reminder:
You don’t need to do it perfectly. You just need to keep showing up more often than you don’t.
