3 Habits That Will Keep You Running đđťââď¸ââĄď¸
Building strong habits is the secret to achieving any lifestyle goal, and running is no exception. I'm a big believer in planning and prioritizingâwithout it, those runs simply wonât happen. If youâre struggling to keep running beyond the first month, here are three simple tips to keep you moving
1. Run in the morning
Prepare the night before: lay out your running gear, so when the alarm goes off, all you have to do is roll out of bed and lace up. Starting your day with a run gives you an early victory and sets the tone for success. Plus, you wonât have to spend all day dreading or finding excuses to skip it.
Morning runs take time to become routine, so give yourself 3â4 weeks to adjust. Stick with it, and youâll find this habit becomes one of your most valuable tools.
2. Schedule or plan your runs in your calendar
Life is busy, but running shouldnât be âfound timeâ; it needs to be prioritized time. Treat your runs as non-negotiable, and donât leave room for excuses. A simple way to stay accountable is to plan one run a week with a friendâitâs harder to cancel on someone else!
Start small, like committing to running every Monday. Put it on your calendar, your fridge, or anywhere you see daily. Avoid overplanning; start with manageable steps and build gradually.
3. Make your progress visible
Track your wins! Whether itâs your watch logging your miles or writing down moments youâre proud ofâlike conquering a tough runâitâs important to celebrate progress.
Set 3 big goals for the year and smaller monthly ones to keep your motivation high. Seeing your progress makes it easier to lace up the next time and reminds you why you started in the first place. Remember: consistency is key!
