Rediscovering Fun and Fitness: How a Change in Distance Can Help You Find New Passions and Improve Your Performance at Any Age

Sometimes all it takes is a little change to get out of a rut.
This proved true for both guests on today’s show, coach Hayley
Green and Cherie Turner. After years in the sport, they both
discovered a passion for new racing distances and are having way
more fun too after making the change. 


Hayley recently traded her focus on road marathons for longer
ultra trail races and Cherie discovered she much preferred
shorter distances to the ultramarathons she was accustomed to.
The common theme here is change and how it can make you a better
runner.


If you’ve ever found yourself hitting a plateau or lacking
motivation then you’re going to relate to these stories. Running
is a sport that rewards consistency and repetition but that
doesn’t mean you have to feel like you’re doing the same thing
again and again. There are so many different ways to participate
in running. Trying something new might be exactly what you need
to reignite your passion or reach new levels of fitness.


This show is all about the benefits of trying something new
including topics such as:


How a change in training can make you a better athlete

How to overcome a lack of motivation with your running

How your abilities can carry-over to other events or
distances

Signs it might be time for you to change up your training
routine



I think these lessons are valuable for just about any distance or
even for life outside running and I can’t wait to share them with
you.
