138: How To Stay Motivated in Running

The Running Channel
About this episode

Andy, Rick, and Sarah are BACK from Tokyo!

It’s no secret that everyday life - from work stress to fatigue, can drain your motivation to run. Maybe you're trying to balance a hectic schedule, dealing with bad weather, or recovering from injury. Whatever the reason, we've all been there.

In this episode, the team share their own experiences with motivation dips and offer practical tips to help you reset, refocus, and get back on track.

AND speaking of fatigue and recovery - in the latest edition of Rick’s Challenge, he puts the Nike × Hyperice Hyperboot to the test. A wearable device that combines heat and dynamic air compression to aid warm-up and recovery. Click HERE to find out more.

The Running Channel Podcast  tackles one big topic each episode, amongst helpful tips and light-hearted chat on the latest news in the running world. Hosted by Sarah Hartley (amateur runner) and Andy Baddeley (former pro runner) alongside Rick Kelsey (recovering runner), the TRC Podcast is friendly, jargon-free, and the perfect accompaniment to your runs.
