A question I was asked over the weekend, how do I get motivation to start running and work towards doing a 5k?
Here’s my bit on that, the thing you’re trying to achieve has to be more important to you than the dozens of other things you could do or end up with instead
It’s all good saying you want to run 5k but are you disinclined enough to realise we can say something but it’s the action takers that get the results they want
Are you willing to commit the time necessary instead of sitting on the sofa watching Netflix
If ultimately the answer is no and you sit on the sofa instead your saying to yourself, internally most likely, that being comfy on the sofa is more important than your 5k goals…
