Motivation
Stay motivated and enjoy your running journey
Featured Tips
Set a Goal Race
Having a race on the calendar gives your training purpose. Choose something achievable but challenging - your first 5K, a PB attempt, or a new distance. Work backwards to create a training plan.
Find a Running Buddy
Running with others makes hard sessions easier and easy runs more enjoyable. You're less likely to skip a run when someone's waiting for you. Join a club like HBAC!
All Tips
Track Your Progress
Use an app or training log to record your runs. Looking back at your progress is motivating, and patterns help you understand what training works for you.
Celebrate Small Wins
Ran further than last week? Nailed a tough session? Managed to run when you didn't feel like it? Acknowledge these wins. Progress isn't always about times and distances.
Remember Why You Started
When motivation dips, reconnect with your original reasons for running. Health, stress relief, personal challenge, social connection - whatever it was, it's still valid.
