The plan you need for running success in 2019<\/span><\/h1>\n

Motivated\u2026  <\/span>Stuck\u2026  <\/span>Frustrated\u2026  <\/span>Determined\u2026 Patient\u2026 Happy<\/span><\/h3>\n

Running takes you on this roller coaster ride of emotions. <\/span>But the most important and the one to stay focused on is to make your running \u2018happy\u2019.   <\/span>How you get to that happy place is a journey. And it\u2019s this journey that makes so many wonderful running moments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it plays out.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019re MOTIVATED. 
\n<\/span>A goal is set, you are excited and super keen for your running year.  <\/span>Training begins and everything feels great\u2026 until\u2026
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

You get STUCK
\n<\/span>You can\u2019t run any faster.  <\/span>The idea of completing longer runs is daunting, that niggle turns into an injury or you keep needing to walk. 
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Being stuck makes you FRUSTRATED
\n<\/span>Frustration leads to not sticking to your plan, making training mistakes, losing focus on your goals and\u2026  <\/span>being really cranky!!  <\/span>If you let this take over, you will feel it\u2019s going to be a year of disappointments instead of having bragging rights as you flash your latest finisher\u2019s medal. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, as a runner you have to choose\u2026  <\/span>to let disappointment, fear or frustration be your block  OR  <\/span>to take small steps that keep you working towards your goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you choose to keep going.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you do\u2026  <\/span>Be DETERMINED<\/span><\/p>\n

Mix the idea, the running joy of others or a memory of your running happy moment with action plans – <\/span>training program,  <\/span>strength sessions, <\/span>joining running groups, <\/span>recording your data, <\/span>talking with other runners, <\/span>setting race goals like the UQ Twilight Run.  <\/span>Determination will keep you going and override your feelings of frustration.   <\/span>But\u2026 you will be tested. <\/span><\/p>\n

Stay PATIENT
\n<\/span>Trust your plan, believe in yourself and train your brain to stay calm.   <\/span>Impatience is my greatest struggle.  <\/span>The brain battle to train, against the fear of missing out and losing run fitness can quickly loop you back to that feeling of frustration.   <\/span>Creating strategies to manage impatience can be hugely rewarding. <\/span><\/p>\n

After a painful ITB injury that stopped him running, Phil, an intraining marathon schooler <\/span>said, <\/span> \u201cI now follow training advice very carefully and not been injured since\u2026\u201d   <\/i><\/span>Phil\u2019s reward was a <\/span>PB marathon, <\/span> a smile that stayed for days, and a<\/span> very HAPPY Running life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He will tell you that \u201cRunning is a now a habit, and I plan my weekly schedule around the runs.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, Run HAPPY<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Getting your goal is great.  <\/span>Enjoying your running experience is even more amazing.  <\/span>Running towards a goal is not really about the final time or distance.   <\/span>It\u2019s the process and the journey to get there.  <\/span><\/p>\n

If you are prepared to recognise and work through your roller coaster of emotions your running year will look more like this\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

MOTIVATION\u2026 <\/span><\/h4>\n
stuck\u2026  <\/span><\/span>frustrated\u2026<\/span>  <\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n

Determined<\/span>\u2026 Patient\u2026  <\/span><\/span>HAPPY<\/span><\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s to your year of Happy Running <\/span><\/p>\n
