  • Stop Overthinking as a Runner
    We dive into an issue that many runners face—overthinking. Whether you're hesitating to start running, debating on signing up for a race, or just getting stuck in your thoughts, these 10 strategies can help simplify your running journey and bring more ease to your routine. Drawing from insights from friends, top running advice, and mental strategies, these tips are perfect for runners of all levels.Key Takeaways:Use the 5-Second RuleInspired by Mel Robbins, the 5-Second Rule (counting down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… and go!) helps you overcome hesitation and self-doubt to get out the door.Focus on One Enjoyable ThingShift your focus to one positive aspect of the run—whether it’s the fresh air, your favorite song, or a little sunshine.Set a Clear IntentionInstead of overthinking, set a simple intention for the run, like gaining energy or relaxing. This helps curb the tendency to spiral into unnecessary thoughts.Give Yourself Permission to Be a BeginnerEmbrace the beginner’s mindset—don’t worry about others or comparing yourself. Remember, every runner starts somewhere!Stay CuriousTreat each run as an opportunity to explore, stay engaged, and prevent nervous overthinking by noticing new things along the route.Play the Noticing GameFocus on specific colors or sounds during your run (e.g., looking for yellow leaves or listening for birds). This simple mindfulness exercise makes your run feel more meditative and less cluttered by thoughts.Establish a Pre-Run RoutineA familiar song or quick routine signals to your brain that it’s time to run, reducing overthinking and helping you stay consistent.Treat It as a Trial, Not a CommitmentSign up for a running club or race as a trial to avoid pressure. Viewing it this way makes it easier to enjoy and reduces stress.Adopt a Learning MindsetApproach each run with curiosity—“I’m learning!”—to lessen performance anxiety and keep a positive, open attitude.Set a Timer for Decision-MakingIf you’re caught in analysis paralysis, set a timer for five minutes to make a decision and move forward.Episode Sponsor:This episode is sponsored by Garden Cup!

  • What To Do When You Feel Burnt Out As a Runner Over 40
    Welcome to Episode 122 of the Running After Age 40 podcast! Today, we’re tackling a topic that every runner, and really anyone committed to a fitness routine, has likely faced—burnout. We share seven powerful strategies to help you manage those times when you feel drained and ready to give up on running. Here’s a rundown of what to expect:Key Takeaways:Reconnect with Your WhyBurnout often comes from losing touch with your deeper motivation. Rediscover your purpose, whether it’s to stay active for your future grandkids or simply to feel energized each day.It’s Okay to Take a BreakA break from running could be just what you need! Explore alternative workouts or consider other challenges like triathlons. Sometimes, stepping away reminds you what you love about running.Embrace Discipline Over MotivationNot every day will feel inspiring, but showing up with discipline can keep you moving forward even on tough days.Check Your Sleep QualityFatigue often masquerades as burnout. Ensure you’re getting restful sleep—reduce caffeine, minimize screen time before bed, and create a relaxing pre-sleep routine.Try Something New (or Stick with Routine)Adding variety can refresh your routine, but sometimes sticking to simple, familiar runs can be just as grounding.Social Connection HelpsCall a friend while you run or connect afterward. Combat the loneliness of running by sharing your experience and motivation with someone else.Make One Small ChangeDon’t overwhelm yourself with drastic changes. Try something small, like a new route or a post-run treat, to keep things fresh.Sponsor Mention:Today’s episode is sponsored by Garden Cup. Enjoy their convenient, delicious salads on the go!

  • Countdown to Motivation: How Counting Backwards Boosts Your Running Goals After 40
    Let's exploring countdown framing—a powerful strategy where you start with a total goal and count down, not up. This approach, sparked by a post I saw about the remaining days of 2024, can bring new motivation to your running. Counting down the days left in the year made me feel that extra push, so today we’re applying that same idea to training and races. Let’s make the final stretch of any goal as rewarding as the finish line!Key TopicsCountdown Framing ExplainedHow this technique gives you a clear sense of progress, making it feel like you’re always moving closer to the finish line.Why Countdown Framing WorksIncreased Perceived Progress: Seeing goals shrink as you go makes every step feel meaningful.Goal Gradient Effect: Get an energy boost by counting down to zero, creating a powerful finish.Reduced Overwhelm: Start with a bigger number and let each mile or minute feel like progress toward a smaller goal.Enhanced Satisfaction: Each step counted down adds a feeling of completion and reward to your runs.How to Implement Countdown Framing in RunningFor Training: Set your timer or distance countdown, and enjoy the sense of completion at each mile.For Races: Mentally count down each mile or minute to stay motivated, especially in the toughest sections.Garden Cup Link to save 20%
