A Runner’s Guide to the Holidays: How to Have Fun and Stay Fit

Do you struggle to maintain your training during the holiday
season? If that sounds like you, you’re not alone. It’s an
exciting time of year, but all of the extra social activities can
make it difficult to stick to a normal running routine. Not to
mention the cold and snowy weather you might face depending on
where you train. Luckily, you don’t have to choose between
holiday fun and running success. If you want to enjoy your
holiday plans while still maintaining fitness, this is the
episode for you.


The holidays are a time for celebration so you shouldn’t have to
give this up. At RC Connect we believe that running is about
balance and having fun so we’re going to give you our best advice
to enjoy this time of the year without losing the fitness you
worked hard to develop. Our goal on today’s show is to tell you
how you can have your cake and eat it too.


Cory and our guest coach Ruairi Moynihan will explore everything
you need to navigate the holiday season including:


How much does missing one or several workouts impact your
fitness?

How to adjust your training around social activities and
travel

Tips for fuelling properly during the holidays

And how you can use the holidays as mental and physical break
to actually improve your running

runners. Unlike towels, they are 100% waterproof and easily fit
over your entire seat so you don’t have any missed spots.

Land Rover


You’re up for any challenge that comes your way. The Defender 110
is, too. 


The iconic vehicle has been reimagined for twenty-first century
adventure, and its unparalleled off-road ability, as well as its
robust interior, are invaluable whether you’re headed towards
uncharted territory, or just a weekend of exploration. 


The Defender 110 tackles challenging surroundings with absolute
confidence. The SUV conveys strength outside and in, featuring
peerless technology like an intuitive driver display and an
award-winning infotainment system to keep you connected no matter
where the journey takes you. 


Adventure is unique to everyone, and so is the Defender. Choose
from the two-door Defender 90, the four-door Defender 110, or the
larger Defender 130 with the ability to seat up to 8 passengers —
you’ll find uncompromising performance in all three.
