Here’s to everyone getting ready to cross a new starting here in December! And thank you all for reading the latest issue of Coach Bennett’s Newsletter!
Thanks Coach. I needed these words this morning. I got sick the Monday before Thanksgiving and ended my RunStreak of 333 days. My goal was to run everyday in 2024 and I failed. I haven’t ran since that Monday and I have been thinking about the right time to start up again. I’ve been putting it off due to so many excuses. I have spring marathons and I know I need to get going but I love sticking to a routine and following a schedule as closely as I can. I think today I will go for a run that’s not on my schedule. Thanks Coach. Long time listener, love your content! @runnermatt3
333 days in a row is a pretty amazing achievement. Cheers to you!! And I love a good routine. But remember that sometimes the best way to start a routine is to start and not worry about the routine. You need consistency to have a routine. So maybe just start running again and let the routine develop naturally. We can all wait until the moment seems right to start a routine. And it’s less about the moment being right and more about the future routine simply getting started. Congratulations on the 333 and have a great next run!
I got to the bottom, decent read. Been using Nike Run Club to train for my first ever half marathon, going to do tough mudder and Spartan races after, you’re really motivational and inspiring, thank you!
Love this simple truth. Just start. Don’t get hung up in need for a radical shift as marker for success.
