But 126 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: first a listener question. 127 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 5: Hamley, congratulations on London. My question is how do you 128 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 5: stay motivated in between races. I sign up for a race, 129 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 5: I train, I run it, I love it. I tell 130 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 5: myself I'm just going to take a week off, and 131 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 5: that week extends two months and I stop running all together. 132 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 5: And then I say, okay, it's time for my next race, 133 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 5: and it's like starting all over again. So how do 134 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 5: you stay motivated to continue to run in between races? 135 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 5: Thanks so much? 136 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 2: Hello, Hello. 137 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: So the first thing that I want to say here 138 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: is it's okay to chill for a second, take a beat, 139 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: have some downtime. If you are working toward a big goal, 140 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: then that is a major commitment and sometimes your body 141 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: just needs a minute to have. 142 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: That downbeat, have that down time. 143 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: Having grace with yourself is extremely important now. Personally, I 144 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: am looking forward to setting some goals right now that 145 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: have absolutely nothing to do with running. There are some 146 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: other areas of my overall wellness snapshot, I will call 147 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: it that I have been neglecting. I'm thinking about the 148 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: foods that I'm putting into my body. I'm thinking about 149 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: the time that I spend doing breathwork, meditating, journaling. And 150 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm also really excited to start thinking about strength training 151 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: in a reinvigorated light. You'll be hearing more about this 152 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: on the show very soon, but I'm about to kick 153 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: off once again working with a trainer one on one 154 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: using the Future app and so that is something I 155 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: am really excited about. When it comes to that waning motivation, 156 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: I have been there. I get it, and I know 157 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: that frustration point when it feels like you're starting from 158 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: square one. I will reiterate the importance of having grace 159 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: with yourself. However, my biggest piece of advice to avoid 160 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: that post big goal slump is ultimately to set another one. 161 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 2: So do an honest audit. 162 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: Sit down and ask yourself, what is it that I 163 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: want to focus on right now? 164 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 2: What is something that excites me? 165 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: And bonus points if you're shifting the training stimulus. So 166 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: if we're going to bring it into the running side 167 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: of things, say you just trained for a marathon. 168 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: How could it feel for you to. 169 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: Instead train to run a fast mile, or perhaps shift 170 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: your focus to another area of fitness all together, another modality, 171 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: whether that is yoga or string training, working with kettlebells. 172 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: The world is your oyster. And then share that goal 173 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: with someone. Talk to a friend about it, talk to 174 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: a mentor about it. Be open about the things that 175 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: excite you, and embrace the opportunity to bring people along 176 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: with you on your journey. Who all right, Well, that's 177 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: it for now.
