55. What If Your Need To Improve Isn't About Running?
<p>Do you constantly feel like you should be doing more with your running? Maybe you hit every run on your training plan, but it still doesn't feel enough. Maybe you achieve a personal best, complete a marathon, or finally become consistent with your training... only to immediately focus on the next goal.</p><p><br></p><p>If so, this episode is for you.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of Your Running Coach with GMacSpurr, running mindset coach Gillian, explores the hidden reason so many runners feel trapped in a cycle of constantly needing to improve. You'll discover why the urge to run more, achieve more, and be more may have less to do with your running performance and more to do with the beliefs driving your behaviour.</p><p><br></p><p>We'll talk about:</p><ul><li>Why doing more never seems to feel like enough</li><li>The mindset trap of constantly moving the goalposts</li><li>How runners become addicted to evidence of progress</li><li>Why confidence built on achievements is often fragile</li><li>The connection between self-worth and running performance</li><li>How to stay ambitious without tying your value to your results</li><li>A healthier way to pursue running goals and personal growth</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If you've ever struggled with perfectionism, comparison, all-or-nothing thinking, feeling behind in your training, or believing you should be further ahead than you are, this episode will help you see your running - and yourself - from a completely different perspective.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Key Takeaway: </strong>You can want more from your running without believing you need more in order to be enough.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources Mentioned:</strong> The Summer Consistency Reset designed to help runners stay consistent through summer without guilt, pressure, or all-or-nothing thinking.</p><p></p><p><strong>Links:</strong></p><p>- Join the <a href="https://tidycal.com/gmacspurr/summer-reset" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Summer Consistency Reset</a> {limited spots}</p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">- Re-write your running story with </span><a href="https://gmacspurr.com/mental-toughness-for-runners" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255); color: inherit;">The Runner Identity Project</a><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);"> (aka TRIP)</span></p><p><span style="color: inherit; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">- Curious about what coaching could do for you? </span><a href="https://tidycal.com/gmacspurr/consultation" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);"><strong>Jump on a consultation call with Coach G</strong></a></p><p>- Break through what’s holding you back and unlock your next level with <a href="https://gmacspurr.com/become-a-better-runner" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>1:1 Coaching</strong></a></p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">- Join </span><a href="https://gmacspurr.com/31X31" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);"><u>31x31: 31-Day Self-Trust Challenge</u></a></p><p><u style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);"></u></p><p>- If you like to listen to music on your run, grab your <a href="https://gmacspurr.com/music-to-run-to" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;"><strong>new fav running playlist here</strong></a></p><p>-<strong> </strong>If you are guessing what to eat before, during & after your run then look no further - <a href="https://gmacspurr.com/what-to-eat-on-your-run" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;"><strong>grab this 3-part running fuel series</strong></a>.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Let's stay in touch:</strong></p><p>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gmacspurrcoaching" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;"><strong>@gmacspurrcoaching</strong></a> on Instagram</p><p>Join the <a href="https://facebook.com/groups/yourrunningcoachwithgmacspurr/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;"><strong>Your Running Coach by GMacSpurr</strong></a> community and keep the conversation going</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.gmacspurr.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;">www.gmacspurr.com</a></p>

54. Why Trying to “Catch Up” Is Making Your Training Harder (And What To Do Instead)
<p>In this episode of Your Running Coach with GMacSpurr, Gillian explores why trying to “catch up” after missed training sessions is often making your running feel harder, more stressful, and less enjoyable than it needs to be.</p><p><br></p><p>If you've ever missed a few runs and immediately felt guilty, panicked, or convinced yourself you needed to cram extra miles into your week to get back on track, you're not alone. Coach G unpacks the psychology behind catch-up mode, why so many runners interpret missed sessions as proof they're failing, and how the pressure to be perfect can quietly sabotage consistency.</p><p><br></p><p>Through personal experiences, mindset coaching, and powerful reflections, you'll learn why the real challenge often isn't the missed training itself, but what those missed runs make you believe about yourself. This episode dives into self-trust, all-or-nothing thinking, perfectionism, and the emotional patterns that keep runners stuck in cycles of guilt, overcorrection, and burnout.</p><p><br></p><p>With journal prompts like "What does being behind make me believe about myself?" and "What am I actually afraid a missed week means?", this conversation will help you build a healthier, more sustainable relationship with your training. Because confidence isn't built by catching up - it's built by learning how to return when life doesn't go to plan.</p><p></p><p><strong>Links:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">- Re-write your running story with </span><a href="https://gmacspurr.com/mental-toughness-for-runners" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255); color: inherit;">The Runner Identity Project</a><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);"> (aka TRIP)</span></p><p><span style="color: inherit; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">- Curious about what coaching could do for you? </span><a href="https://tidycal.com/gmacspurr/consultation" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);"><strong>Jump on a consultation call with Coach G</strong></a></p><p>- Break through what’s holding you back and unlock your next level with <a href="https://gmacspurr.com/become-a-better-runner" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>1:1 Coaching</strong></a></p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">- Join </span><a href="https://gmacspurr.com/31X31" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);"><u>31x31: 31-Day Self-Trust Challenge</u></a></p><p><u style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);"></u></p><p>- If you like to listen to music on your run, grab your <a href="https://gmacspurr.com/music-to-run-to" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;"><strong>new fav running playlist here</strong></a></p><p>-<strong> </strong>If you are guessing what to eat before, during & after your run then look no further - <a href="https://gmacspurr.com/what-to-eat-on-your-run" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;"><strong>grab this 3-part running fuel series</strong></a>.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Let's stay in touch:</strong></p><p>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gmacspurrcoaching" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;"><strong>@gmacspurrcoaching</strong></a> on Instagram</p><p>Join the <a href="https://facebook.com/groups/yourrunningcoachwithgmacspurr/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;"><strong>Your Running Coach by GMacSpurr</strong></a> community and keep the conversation going</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.gmacspurr.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;">www.gmacspurr.com</a></p>

53. Why Your Long Runs Feel So Mentally Hard (and Why Mindset Hacks Aren’t Fixing It)
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">In this episode of </span><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Your Running Coach with GMacSpurr</strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">, Coach G explores why so many runners struggle mentally during long runs, and why </span>“mindset hacks”<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;"> and motivational tricks often fail to create lasting confidence.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">If you’ve ever found yourself spiralling halfway through a run, questioning your fitness, catastrophising about race day, or convincing yourself you </span>“can’t do this”<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">, this episode is for you. Coach G breaks down what’s actually happening psychologically during hard runs, from discomfort intolerance and fear-based thinking to the pressure runners place on themselves when things stop feeling easy.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Rather than teaching you how to avoid difficult thoughts, this episode will help you understand why your brain reacts the way it does during endurance training - and how real confidence comes from building self-trust inside discomfort, not escaping it.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Through honest personal reflections, powerful mindset reframes, and journal prompts like </span>“What do I make discomfort mean about me?”<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">, this conversation will help you stop treating every difficult run like proof you’re failing. Because mentally strong runners aren’t the ones who never struggle - they’re the ones who stop panicking when struggle shows up.</span></p><p><br></p><p></p><p><strong>Links:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">- Re-write your running story with </span><a href="https://gmacspurr.com/mental-toughness-for-runners" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255); color: inherit;">The Runner Identity Project</a><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);"> (aka TRIP)</span></p><p><span style="color: inherit; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">- Curious about what coaching could do for you? </span><a href="https://tidycal.com/gmacspurr/consultation" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);"><strong>Jump on a consultation call with Coach G</strong></a></p><p>- Break through what’s holding you back and unlock your next level with <a href="https://gmacspurr.com/become-a-better-runner" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>1:1 Coaching</strong></a></p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">- Join </span><a href="https://gmacspurr.com/31X31" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);"><u>31x31: 31-Day Self-Trust Challenge</u></a></p><p><u style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);"></u></p><p>- If you like to listen to music on your run, grab your <a href="https://gmacspurr.com/music-to-run-to" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;"><strong>new fav running playlist here</strong></a></p><p>-<strong> </strong>If you are guessing what to eat before, during & after your run then look no further - <a href="https://gmacspurr.com/what-to-eat-on-your-run" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;"><strong>grab this 3-part running fuel series</strong></a>.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Let's stay in touch:</strong></p><p>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gmacspurrcoaching" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;"><strong>@gmacspurrcoaching</strong></a> on Instagram</p><p>Join the <a href="https://facebook.com/groups/yourrunningcoachwithgmacspurr/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;"><strong>Your Running Coach by GMacSpurr</strong></a> community and keep the conversation going</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.gmacspurr.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;">www.gmacspurr.com</a></p>
