51: When to Quit a Run vs When to Push Through
Manage episode 398976861 series 3455472
We start with a listener about timing warm-ups before driving to go for a run. Then, we dive into one of the most common questions we hear as running coaches: when is it okay to quit a run? When should you push through? When should you skip a run altogether? How do you discern low motivation versus a legitimate reason to quit a run?
Discussion points include:
- Our take on the “no days off” mentality in running
- What to do when your running motivation is low
- Should you run with a cold or other illness?
- Should you run if running is painful?
- What to do if a run is not going well
- What to do if you have to skip a long run
- What to do if you get sick during your taper
- When should you skip your race
- When to quit a race (DNF)
