The Change: Transform your mindset
Start Journaling
Writing down your thoughts can help you track progress, identify stressors, and gain clarity. Start or end your day by jotting down your goals or reflections.
Adopt a Morning Ritual
Set the tone for your day by dedicating 10 minutes to meditation, light stretching, or reading an inspiring quote—just like endurance athletes center themselves before a race.
Reframe Challenges
The next time you face a tough situation, ask yourself: What can I learn from this? By shifting your mindset, challenges become opportunities for growth.
The Move: Running Drills
Incorporate these drills into your routine to better your running:
- High Knees: Boost your cardio and engage your core by running in place, lifting your knees high.
- Butt Kicks: Improve flexibility and loosen up tight hamstrings.
- Strides: Short sprints of 50-100 meters to refine your form and build speed.
Pro tip: Incorporate these drills at least twice a week before your runs.
