Most of my clients are busy mums. And if you’re a busy mum, you’re knackered about 75% of the time.
Which makes motivating yourself to run feel impossible. Especially when life is busy and the sofa is right there.
Here’s what actually helps:
1. Kit out the night before. Or first thing in the morning if you’re working out later. Just put it on. Don’t think about it.
2. Have a snack ready before you go. Banana on the counter. Coffee on a timer. Remove every excuse before it shows up.
3. Know your reward. A good breakfast. A nice coffee. Something that makes the after feel worth the before.
4. Write down how you felt after your last run. Read it back when you can’t face this one.
5. And the most important one — remind yourself that the version of you that went always feels better than the version that didn’t. Always.
You don’t need a perfect week. You need one run today.
