Winter running is tough. We have darker mornings, colder temperatures, holiday stress, and unpredictable schedules which make it feel harder than ever to stay motivated. If your running has felt off lately, you’re not alone.
In this episode, Coach Michelle shares a supportive guide to boost your motivation during the winter months. You’ll learn how to reconnect with your purpose, set yourself up for success, and create small, achievable steps that help you keep moving through the season.

How reconnecting with your “why” helps to bring clarity and purpose
Why accountability partners make winter running easier
How to dress for success so cold weather doesn’t derail you
Why having a running plan (or a coach!) boosts consistency
How signing up for a local race can reignite your spark
What to focus on during “foundation season”
How visual reminders and mantras can gently pull you forward
