I'm Travis a physical therapist and performance coach focused on helping runners reach their goals.

In high school I went from dead last on the team to a D1 scholarship. No matter where you are in your running career, I've been there and am here to help

According to that Apple Watch commercial, yesterday was national quitters day.

If you’re just starting up with running or back after a hiatus having a why is extremely important! It’s something you can lean on for motivation when things get tough.

I’m not talking about “I want to lose weight”, I’m talking about a deep, visceral why. Like “I want to lose weight to be healthy enough to play with my grandkids”. That’s something of meaning and will hold importance when motivation is lacking

If you don’t know your why yet, there’s a very simple activity you can do. Ask yourself why three times. Each time, expanding and getting deeper than the next.

I run because I enjoy it. Why? Because it gives me a sense of achievement. Why? Ultimately, I feel like the best version of myself during an after a run.

If you don’t, you should!

With my sprained ankle, I decided that I wasn’t going do the full 30 minute run that I had planned for today. Instead I wanted to incorporate a walking warm-up and walking cool down to shorten the run. My easy running pace is 3/10 intensity and my brisk walking pace is 2/10 intensity. Here is how the math played out to convert from just run to walk/run:

Original plan: 3 x 30 minutes= 90

Adjusted run: Warm up walk 2 x 10 minutes= 20
Run 3 x 17 minutes= 51
Cool down walk 2 x 10 minutes= 20
20+51+20 = 91

Starting over sucks!

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve gotten out of shape and had to get back in. I’ve started over after a month off and I’ve started over after 7 years off. One takes longer but neither is easy!

If you’re starting fresh this new year, set the expectations. Getting into shape sucks and always will. It will also, always be worth it!

The only thing that helps makes the suck easier is consistency. The best running is consistent running. Speed and distance don’t matter if you run once a week.

Consistency is difficult but with the right goals and discipline is very achievable. Small and frequent achievable goals help to get the ball rolling and snowball your confidence.

If you need help or motivation, don’t hesitate to comment or DM!
