If you’re just here for the quick details, these pointers should keep you on track. But if you’re diving deeper, each section of our guide is designed to expand on these tips with practical advice and tips, ensuring you can maintain your motivation to run and continue to enjoy all the benefits running has to offer.

Let’s lace up and explore how to stay motivated to run!

1. Know What Drains Your Motivation To Run.

First and foremost, it’s crucial to pinpoint and recognise the factors that diminish our motivation to run. Understanding these triggers allows us to address them proactively before they become a bigger issue, and derail our enjoyment of running altogether.

Take the cold, for instance. If you’re anything like me, the idea of heading out for a run on a chilly morning can be daunting. The temptation to stay snug in bed is real! To combat this, I’ve developed a few strategies that make it easier to face the frost. One effective tactic is to set out my running attire in front of the heater the night before, ensuring they’re toasty and inviting when it’s time to head out the door. Sometimes, I’ll even sleep in my running gear to minimise the morning chill.

Setting a coffee machine timer to brew a hot cup right when you wake up can also be a useful strategy to get you up and moving. Instead of focusing on the discomfort of the cold, I shift my attention to the invigorating feeling of completing my run. There’s nothing quite like the sense of accomplishment that comes from conquering a challenge, especially when it sets such a positive tone for the day.

Identifying what typically drains your motivation to run is the first step. Whether it’s time constraints, boredom, fatigue, or bad weather, prepare strategies in advance to counter what is holding you back. By doing so, you arm yourself with tools to maintain your running schedule, even when your initial enthusiasm might be low. This approach ensures that you stay on track, literally and figuratively, and continue to enjoy the benefits of running for both body and mind.

TIP: Dress for Success: Invest in a piece of running gear that you absolutely love, whether it’s a brightly colored running jacket, a comfortable pair of socks, or a stylish hat. Save this item for days when your motivation is low. The simple pleasure of wearing something you love can give you just enough joy to push through the inertia.

2. Remember Your Why’s And Set Your Goals.

Understanding the personal significance of running in your life is crucial. Ask yourself: Why did I start running in the first place? What am I aiming to achieve through my workouts? What are the self-improvement outcomes I ‘really’ want to achieve? Reflecting on the progress you’ve already made, the goals you’ve fulfilled, and the milestones ahead, can help boost your motivation to run in times of fading enthusiasm.

Many of us start running to enhance our health and fitness, and work towards achieving our self-improvement ideals – your ‘why’s’. Whenever you find it tough to step out the door, refocus intently on your initial reasons for starting running in the first place, and imagine how you’ll feel once you achieve your goals.

Visualise the surge of vitality and energy you’ll feel, the lightness in your steps as you become fitter with each run, and how you’ll look and feel as you achieve your target weight, or any other personal goal.

Set clear health and fitness objectives and break them into small, manageable steps. Achieving these mini-goals weekly ensures a constant motivation boost, making it easier to lace up and head out the door.

A large goal can sometimes feel daunting, almost too challenging to tackle, leading to discouragement and thoughts of giving up. That’s why it’s crucial to divide these big aspirations into smaller, more manageable mini-goals. By achieving these incremental milestones week by week, you remain motivated to run, and they keep the process enjoyable.

Remember, it’s the journey toward these goals that truly counts. Embrace each step, and you will undoubtedly reach your destination.

TIP: Create a “motivation or vision board” featuring visual representations of your goals, inspirational quotes, and photos of your progress. This visual reminder in your daily space can serve as a powerful prompt and motivator, keeping your running goals top of mind even on days when enthusiasm might be low. We can help you create a Running Vision Board, click here to see our post.

3. Find A Running Buddy, Coach Or Mentor.

Sometimes, the right amount of obligation is all it takes to conquer a slump in motivation to run.

Let’s explore the advantages and benefits of teaming up with running buddies, coaches, and mentors, and why bringing them into your running routine can significantly boost your motivation and drive.

Your Running Buddy.

Imagine it’s early morning, and the comfort and warmth of your bed is enticing you to stay. But that’s not an option when your running buddy is already outside, ready and waiting – you have to get up and get going.

Partnering up with a running buddy is a fantastic way to ensure you consistently hit the pavement. Commit to a schedule – write it down, put it in your calendar, make it a non-negotiable part of your day.

This commitment to another person helps keep you accountable, ensuring you show up for every run, no matter your mood. And it can be a lot of fun!

Find A Coach.

Consider engaging a running coach. Adding a financial commitment to your running can assist in keeping you motivated to run.

After all, you’re less likely to skip a session that you’ve paid for, even on days when you’re not feeling your best. Showing up not only pleases your coach, but also leaves you that great feeling of accomplishment after completing the workout. It’s a triple win: your coach is happy, your investment pays off, and you feel accomplished.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with getting a coach for something that seems as straightforward as running. A coach offers more than just workout advice and personalised training plans tailored just for you, they’re also a great source of motivation. Your coach will celebrate your achievements with you and help accelerate your progress toward your goals.

As a running coach, I find, almost without exception, that the extra commitment helps people progress more quickly, keeps them motivated to run, and they achieve their goals more quickly.

Tap Into The Help Of An Experienced Mentor.

If you have a mentor, tap into their wealth of experience. They’ve likely faced those tough days when they’ve struggled to get out the door to run, but pushed through anyway.

Just discussing your feelings and challenges can be incredibly motivating. Remember, everyone encounters dips in motivation from time to time. Having a mentor to discuss these moments with can provide you with the strategies, guidance and encouragement needed to get back on track.

To find a mentor, start by joining local running clubs or community groups where experienced runners gather. Additionally, participating in running events or local races can connect you with seasoned runners who are often eager to share their knowledge. Online running forums and social media groups are also excellent resources, providing access to a wide network of runners from all over the world who can offer advice, encouragement, and mentorship.

Tip: To make your runs more engaging with a buddy or mentor, set shared goals, embark on a challenge, or enter a fun run or event such as Parkrun together. This shared enjoyment of running can increase your commitment and make each run a step toward not only achieving your own personal self-improvement goals, but also a joint venture, adding a layer of fun and camaraderie to the challenge.

4. Try A New Workout Or A New Running Location.

Are you feeling stuck in a running rut? Is boredom creeping into your running routine and sapping your motivation? Repeating the same routes or workouts can quickly drain the enthusiasm from your runs, risking turning each session into a monotonous task. Sometimes, all we need is a little help and inspiration to mix things up and reignite our running mojo, new workouts or places to run can do just that.

Here are some ideas to help keep you motivated to run:

New Running Locations.

Shake things up by exploring new and exciting places to run. Here’s how:

• Use Running Apps: Apps like Strava and AllTrails provide a wealth of user-shared routes that can show you where others enjoy running, which can help you discover new trails and paths in your area or other exciting places you might like to try.
• Join Local Running Clubs: Aside from the great social aspect of these running clubs or groups, they often organise group runs in various parts of a city or region. These runs may take you on routes you never knew existed.
• Participate in Organised Races: Signing up for races is a great way to discover running routes. These events often take place in scenic or unique locations that are different from your usual paths. Keep an eye out for trail running, sky running, or other events that can introduce you to new places to run.
• Ask Local Running Stores: Staff at speciality running stores often know about popular and safe routes, and some stores even host group runs.
• Check Out National and State Parks: Parks often have marked trails with varying distances and difficulty levels, perfect for running in a natural setting, and ideal for your weekend Long Run. Try scouting these areas first by bike or car to become familiar with the new terrain and make sure it’s safe to run there.
• Explore on Social Media: Look for local running groups on platforms like X, TikTok, Instagram and others. Members often share their favourite running spots and photos or videos from their runs.
• Use Google Maps: Explore potential running areas by browsing Google or Apple Maps. Look for green spaces, parks, and water bodies that might offer scenic paths.
• Visit Running Websites and Blogs: Websites dedicated to running, such as RMWA, often review and recommend routes in many locations. GreatRuns.com, for instance, provides curated running routes worldwide.
• Travel and Vacation Runs: When travelling, look up running routes in the area you’re visiting. This can be an exciting way to explore a new city or landscape.
• Word of Mouth: Don’t underestimate the power of asking around. Talk to fellow runners, friends, and colleagues about their favourite places to run. Even some walking or hiking trails may be suitable for running, check these areas out first to make sure they are safe.
• City Parks and Beach Runs: Try a new city park or plan a route along a nearby beach. The change of scenery can be incredibly refreshing. Beach runs that take in piers, jetties, boardwalks, paths, and beachside trails are always exciting places to run. You can even finish your run with a refreshing dip in the ocean.

Aside from the health and fitness benefits of running – exploring, discovering and experiencing new places and locations is one of the most fulfilling and thrilling aspects of running.

New Workouts.

Has your running become a little predictable and beginning to lose its excitement? Have you fallen into a running rut and are doing the same run, at the same pace, along the same route, with each outing?

We’ve already taken care of changing up your running location, let’s now work on changing the type of running you are doing.

Here’s how to add some variety into your routine, try these workout ideas:

• Hills and Stairs: Incorporate hill repeats or stair climbing into your runs. These are excellent for building strength and endurance. Create a workout around a local grassy hill, bridge approach and declines with pedestrian walkways, hilly city streets, stadium stairs, tourist attractions when not busy, park hills and stairs, and hilly trails for a touch of nature.
• Progression Run: Start slow and gradually increase your pace until you’re running fast towards the end of your workout.
• Interval Training: Mix short bursts of intense running with slower recovery phases. This can help improve speed and cardiovascular fitness. Try these in different locations and over different distances whenever you do them.
• Fartlek Training: This less structured, playful form of interval training involves varying your speed and intensity based on random landmarks or times. Great fun with two or more of you, take it in turns to call out target landmarks.
• Sprints: Utilise a nearby athletic track or a flat stretch of road to do sprint workouts, which are great for speed work. Doing a workout on a dedicated running track or sports ground is a great way to mix up your running location.
• The Long Run: If your runs are usually short, schedule a longer run weekly. This is a perfect opportunity to try out new running locations and those scenic routes. At RMWA we prioritise one long run per week, usually on the weekend when people have more available time. It’s a great way to build endurance, resilience and strength.
• There are many other exciting ways to train and try.

Making It Fun.

Inject some fun into your running sessions:

• End at a Favourite Spot: Consider finishing your run at a café or juice bar where you can treat yourself to a refreshing drink or snack. Great fun if you are running with a friend or group. One way I love to finish a great workout is to grab a coffee at my favourite café after the run.
• Vary Your Running Times: Run at different times of the day to experience your route in new ways, such as at dawn, during lunch breaks, or under the stars if it’s safe. Check out our popular article The Night Runner’s Guide for tips on how to make late night or early morning running in the dark safe and exciting.
• Themed Runs: Spice up your runs by adding themes. These are great to do with friends and can make each run feel like a special event and always adds an element of fun.

These changes can make your runs more interesting and motivate you to keep moving, no matter how far or fast you go.

Tip: Plan a ‘Runcation’ Consider planning your next holiday or vacation around a scenic running route or a special running event. Known as a ‘runcation’, this type of holiday combines the thrill of exploration with the joy of running, allowing you to experience new landscapes, cultures, and challenges through the unique lens of a runner. Whether it’s participating in a marathon, or exploring mountain trails, each run becomes a memorable adventure. Not only does this keep your running schedule exciting, but it also provides a fantastic opportunity to see the world in a way few others do. Plus, the anticipation of a running-focused vacation can motivate you throughout your training, giving you a great goal to work towards.

5. Use Technology On Your Runs.

Today’s runners have a wealth of technology at their fingertips designed to enhance and energise every workout. From sports watches that track an extensive range of metrics to dynamic smartphone apps, let’s dive into how these tools can help keep you motivated to run.

Sports Watches.

Sports watches from various brands offer diverse features suited to all budgets and needs. What can they do?

• GPS Tracking: Track your distance, pace, and route – great for journaling your journey towards your goals. Another fun thing to do is draw some GPS art – plan your route so that when it is plotted on a GPS map it resembles a picture, like your favourite animal, post the pic to your socials.
• Heart Rate Monitoring: Get detailed insights into your heart rate zones throughout your run. This is especially helpful when your workout calls for a run at a specific heart rate, it’s another way of adding variety into your routine.
• Route Guidance: Many Smartwatches or Sports Watches pair with mapping apps to guide you on new trails, it’s a great way to explore new areas.
• Multi-Sport Functionality: If you are also Cross-training, many of these watches also support gym workouts, cycling, swimming, hiking and yoga, among others.
• Additional Metrics: Look for features like VO2 max estimates, sleep tracking, energy use advice, and integration with apps like Strava.

Using a sports watch helps you monitor your performance and makes planning and adjusting your workouts based on specific goals easier. Plus, you can share your stats and maps on social media, adding a social element to your training.

Smartphone Apps.

• Strava: This app acts like a social network for anyone engaging in exercise activity, allowing you to connect with millions of runners worldwide or just your own group of friends. Track your runs, share achievements, and even participate in challenges. Check it out here.
• Running Heroes: Sync your workouts and earn rewards through weekly challenges. Prizes include gear like running shoes and tech gadgets. This is one of my favourites, some of the challenges and rewards make this a no-brainer for runners looking to inject a little fun and motivation into their workouts. Try it here.
• Zombie Run: Here’s a fun one. Turn each run into a thrilling escape from a zombie apocalypse or other mortal enemies with this immersive audio adventure. Enjoyed by millions around the world, this adds a new dynamic to your runs, check it out here.
• Activity Trackers: Most smartphone brands offer built-in activity trackers, while apps from running shoe brands like Nike Run Club and Adidas Runtastic provide additional insights and community features.

Entertainment Options.

• Music/Podcasts/Audiobooks: Wireless earbuds, including some of the dedicated sports or exercise options, paired with your phone or smartwatch, let you enjoy your favourite tunes or podcasts, making long runs more enjoyable. Learning a language? This is a great way to practice your language skills, or listen to stories or the news in your target language.
• Streaming Services: Smartphones or watches with cellular connectivity can stream content directly.
• Interactive Treadmill Workouts: Many modern treadmills are equipped with screens that offer interactive classes led by instructors. These classes can vary in intensity and style, from hill climbs to speed intervals, providing a structured workout that keeps you engaged and motivated.

Additional Gadgets.

• Action Cameras: Capture the beauty of your runs with cameras from Insta360 or GoPro. These are perfect for recording scenic trail runs or action-packed races. These cameras are also great for catching snapshots when you don’t carry your phone.
• Drones for Personal Filming: Utilise drones to film your runs, adding a dynamic aerial perspective that can be thrilling for reviewing your routes and sharing your experiences with others. Drones with follow-me technology can autonomously track you from above, capturing your progress through scenic landscapes. This not only allows for incredible footage but can also be motivational, pushing you to run in picturesque locations. Some of these drones are tiny enough to just pop into your running backpack.
• Headlamps: For those who run early in the morning or late at night, a reliable headlamp ensures safety and visibility. These give you the option of running at times that may feel more motivating to you.

Leveraging these technologies can transform your running experience, making each run exciting and engaging while providing valuable data to track your progress. Whether you’re exploring new trails with GPS guidance or escaping zombies, technology brings a new dimension to your runs.

TIP: Here at RMWA, we consistently emphasise the importance of cross-training with weights. Incorporating strength training into your routine strengthens your muscles and targets those muscle groups that aren’t typically engaged during running. This approach assures a balanced workout regimen that enhances your overall fitness and supports a well-rounded body exercise routine. Leverage your tech not just for running, but also to enhance your cross-training activities.

6. Keep A Running Journal.

Staying motivated to run with a journal is a fantastic strategy many runners overlook. Whether you prefer jotting down details in a traditional notebook or using a digital journaling app, the benefits are substantial. Let’s take a look.

Advantages of Keeping a Running Journal.

• Documenting Achievements: A journal is perfect for recording and celebrating your milestones and successes, providing tangible proof of your progress. Highlight those days when you achieve one of your aspirations or goals, and take time to reflect on your progress and achievements.
• Tracking Progress: Whether your goals involve weight loss, training for a specific event, enhancing athletic performance, or improving overall fitness, a journal serves as a dedicated space to monitor your advancements. Tracking in this way can help you quickly identify negative trends in your outcomes, providing the evidence you need to make adjustments in your training.
• Guiding Your Training: Writing out your training schedule in your journal eliminates uncertainty about daily activities. It’s all laid out for you; just follow along and run.
• Reflective Insights: Regularly reviewing your journal can inspire continued effort by highlighting how far you’ve come. It also helps identify patterns that affect your performance, such as the time of day, sleep quality, diet, or even specific gear like running shoes. Put as much information as you can in your journal, even things that can seem trivial now, may provide an important insight later on.
• Accountability: Putting your goals in writing acts like a personal contract, consistently reminding you of your commitments and aspirations every time you open your journal.
• Injury Tracking and Recovery: Note any injuries and recovery details to detect patterns or triggers. This information can be crucial for preventing future injuries and managing recovery more effectively.
• Memorable Milestones: It’s fun to look back on special days (like running on your birthday) to see what you accomplished and how you felt.
• Coaching Tool: If you work with a coach or mentor, your journal can provide them with invaluable insights into your training, helping tailor advice and feedback more effectively.

Enhanced Journaling Tips.

To make your running journal even more effective, consider these tips:

• Incorporate Emotional and Mental Notes: Alongside physical performance, jot down your emotional state or mental focus during runs to understand how these affect your training.
• Use Visuals: If you’re using a digital journal, add photos or route maps to visually document your runs. This can make the journal more engaging and personally meaningful.
• Set Periodic Review Times: Regularly set aside time to review your journal, perhaps once a month or after each training phase, to reflect on your progress and adjust goals as needed.

A running journal is more than just a record – it’s a motivational tool that encourages mindfulness and intentionality in your running journey. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been running for years, keeping a journal can really boost your training. It adds a layer of reflection that helps you see just how far you’ve come and where you might tweak things to improve.

TIP: When maintaining a running journal, it’s important not to let the process become too rigid or burdensome. Try to treat your journal like a friendly conversation at the end of your run – not a strict report you dread filling out. Mix up your entries with doodles, motivational quotes, and even stickers if you like. Feel free to jot down fun observations, the weather, the people you met, or anything unusual you noticed on your run. This approach keeps the journaling process light and enjoyable, making it something you look forward to rather than just another task. Remember, your running journal is a personal space to celebrate your progress and capture the joy of running, not just the numbers.

7. Reward Yourself On A Run Well Done.

Who doesn’t love a well-deserved reward after putting in some effort? You’ve stuck to your commitments, you’ve hit the pavement as planned, and you’ve shown dedication to yourself and your running buddies. Now, it’s time to treat yourself.

Though the sense of accomplishment after a great run can often be a reward in itself, having a tangible reward can often give you that extra motivation to get moving, especially in times when your enthusiasm to work out is a little diminished.

Here are some fun and satisfying ways to reward yourself after a run or achieving a goal:

• Coffee or Breakfast at Your Favourite Spot: One of my favourites – why not end your run at a cosy café and indulge in a delicious latte or perhaps a healthy breakfast. It’s a wonderful way to cap off your morning exercise.
• The Reward Jar: Call it a fun bank or a treat fund. Set aside a specific amount – such as 50 cents or a dollar for each kilometre you run. Save up for something special, like new running gear, a weekend getaway, or a fancy dinner. Watching this fund grow can be incredibly motivating as your special reward gets closer.
• Spa Day: After a particularly long or hard run, why not unwind with a trip to the spa for a swim, sauna, or even a massage? It’s not just luxurious and pleasurable, it’s also great for recovery.
• Pamper Yourself: Schedule a pedicure or a manicure as a reward for consistently meeting your training goals. It’s a great way to relax and take care of your body.
• Take a Nap: There’s nothing like a peaceful nap after a run. If your schedule allows, give yourself permission to rest and recharge with a quiet nap.
• Movie Time: Plan a movie night for after your run. Choose a film you’ve been wanting to see, and make it a reward for getting your kilometres in. Cinema or home, it’s a fun reward.
• Open That Special Bottle: Have a bottle of wine or a special drink set aside for when you achieve a predetermined target or complete a challenging workout. It’s a toast to your success and perseverance.
• Restaurant Meal: Treat yourself to a meal at a nice restaurant with a friend or partner, celebrating your hard work with a culinary delight. Remember, your running lifestyle should be enjoyable, it’s not meant to be about hard work or strict dieting 100% of the time. Treating yourself to a nice meal at a restaurant occasionally is a great reward for your consistent effort.
• New Running Gear: Purchase that stylish running outfit or those new running shoes you’ve been eyeing. New running gear can boost your confidence, performance and motivation.
• Concert or Event Tickets: Buy tickets to a concert, sports event, or theatre performance you’ve been wanting to see, giving yourself a cultural or entertaining evening to look forward to as a reward for your consistent efforts.
• Charitable Donation: Make a donation to a charity of your choice for each milestone you achieve. This way, your hard work benefits not just you, but other causes you care about as well.

Remember, rewards should be enjoyable but also in line with your health and fitness goals. They are not just indulgences, but also incentives to keep you running regularly and passionately.

Tip: Create a Motivation Mosaic. For a fun and unique motivational reward, try creating a ‘Motivation Mosaic.’ Each time you complete a run or achieve a milestone, add a small item or note to a board in your home. These could be things like a pebble from a memorable trail, a sticker for the distance you ran, or a note about your achievement and its reward. Over time, you’ll build a visual mosaic that showcases your running journey. This creative display personalises your space and serves as a daily inspiration, celebrating your progress and the experiences you’ve cherished.

Wrapping Up 7 Ways To Stay Motivated To Run.

Overcoming the Inevitable Dips in Staying Motivated To Run.

Every runner faces those inevitable days when motivation wanes – you might feel too tired, too busy, or just not in the right headspace. It happens to everyone. But remember, the days when it’s toughest to get started, are often the days you feel the most accomplished and self-satisfied after you overcome the inertia and get the workout done.

Here are a few takeaways to help you push through those low-motivation days:

• Revisit Our Tips: When you’re struggling to lace up those shoes, revisit the strategies discussed in this post. Whether it’s rewarding yourself, mixing up your routine, or using tech to your advantage, there’s always a way to reignite your motivation.
• Celebrate Every Victory: Remember, every time you run, especially when you didn’t feel like it, you’re not only building physical strength, but mental resilience as well. Celebrate that.
• Beware of Motivation Killers: Stay vigilant against negativity, whether from others or internal doubts. If people around you don’t support your running, focus on your personal reasons for running – be it fitness, weight management, or the simple joy of being outdoors. Keep those reasons close to your heart.

Beware of This Motivation Killer.

Negative people can sap your enthusiasm. You know why you run, and while others might not understand your passion, it’s important to stay true to your goals and disconnect from any negativity that could derail your motivation.

Remember, unless you’re injured or ill, pushing past the urge to skip a run strengthens not just your body, but your willpower. Lace up, hit the trail, and keep in mind that every run you complete, especially the hardest ones, cements your status as a true running champion. Keep moving forward, one step at a time.

Happy Running
