Hey Running Friends! Struggling to lace up those running shoes with consistency? The internal and external barriers we may have need to be identified, and then we can come up with strategies to overcome them. For older runners, time scarcity, waning motivation, and the ever-present fatigue can hold us back. Sometimes we don't know why we are having a hard time getting out there, and you just need someone to prompt you to figure it out. Check out the resource section for a quiz you can take which will show you what may be a barrier. Resources from the Episode: Quiz to ID Barriers from Physio-Pedia RRCA Run Club Search RRCA Start to Run Program Fleet Feet - from this link, enter in where you live and keep "All" in the training type search.
