Super Awesome You - Achieve Your Goals
This podcast is about helping you to believe in you. (Because wonderful things start to happen once you start to believe in yourself!)
My name is Sam, and running/fitness/entrepreneurship have taught me a lot of things -- how motivation is not a permanent state, how difficult it is to get yourself out of bed and move, and how our brains do their best to keep us comfortable and limited in our action (they have good intentions but often miss the mark).
Each week we'll dive into a lesson learned from running, and sometimes cover a song I'm currently listening to help me get out there and move. Some weeks will have a guest runner on the show talking about their path and what helps them when things are tough.
I hold a degree in Neurobiology and have been obsessed with motivation, goals and psychology for nearly a decade now. I am a former spin instructor, a current runner & marathoner, an entrepreneur, and podcaster. It's great to meet you!
This show was formerly and temporarily called Super Awesome Runner! If you hear that in the intro, that's why :)
Super Awesome You - Achieve Your Goals
Let's talk about progress (or the seeming lack of progress) when pursuing a long-term goal
Less than a week away from the NYC Half, and I'm reminded of my experience running the FDR highway, looking at the UN building, and feeling like I'm never actually getting closer to it. This ends up being a good segue for me to talk about progress towards long-term goals, and how difficult it can be when what you want is months/years away--and a helpful tip on how to deal with that moment to keep you on track!
P.S. Next week will be another off week, so I'll be posting a re-run then! Best of luck to anyone/everyone running the Half next week! Talk soon!
