This week it’s just the two of us - Andy and Rich - diving into all things running, mindset, training maturity, ego, taper madness, winter motivation, and what really drives long-term progress.
With Valencia Marathon just 3 weeks away, we get honest about:
- How small, intentional actions compound into big results
- The power of consistency over intensity
- Why most runners massively overestimate effort and underestimate recovery
- The difference between running smarter vs running harder
- Taper fears, niggles, and the psychology of race-week
- Training in winter and “owning the dark months”
- How ego can derail race prep (hello, Benidorm Half 👀)
- Why coaching is WAY more than a plan - it’s mindset, structure, accountability, and community
We also talk about the importance of safety in winter running, adapting your routine, and why joining a social group or run buddy system might be the best move you make this season.
Plus - we announce our FREE 5-Day Running Kickstart Challenge starting Monday 17th. Perfect for anyone wanting accountability, structure, and a fresh start as winter hits. (See link below)
