The RunRX Podcast

New-Year slump? Learn how to turn short-lived motivation into a sustainable running habit. Coach Caroline and Coach Valerie share a movement-first approach (elasticity, drills, strength), realistic goal setting, and simple nutrition mindset shifts so your January change actually sticks — without strict diets or burnout.

Key takeaways

✅ Pre-plan two realistic weekly workouts you WILL do — small wins beat “all or nothing.”

✅ Treat training as self-care: short drills, strength, and mobility preserve form when time is tight.

✅ Movement first, miles second — build elasticity, balance and body-weight strength to stay consistent and avoid injury.

✅ Short interval sessions or a 5–15 min drill are perfect for travel days or busy weeks.

✅ Don’t diet; eat to support movement — experiment, track how foods make you feel, and be consistent.

✅ A short deload (less distance / lower intensity) won’t ruin fitness — it often refreshes you.

✅ Use tools: RunRx app workouts, Zoom coached drills, and the 30-Day Reboot to keep momentum.
