Floris Gierman explains how to coach yourself as a runner. Instead of forcing a planned workout, step outside yourself and ask if it actually fits today. Trust your intuition, skip the self-criticism, and prioritize enjoying the run.

Chapters

Just say, let the running come to you. Try not to force it too much. I see runners get very excited, but sometimes that excitement has its ups and downs as well. But if you follow your intuition and you don't beat yourself up, and sometimes even ask yourself the question— go stand outside of your own body and be an external coach towards you. It's really easy to be kind to other people. It's really easy to be coaching people what to do in a certain situation. But what if you would actually coach yourself? And you would tell, is today that workout the right workout for me, or should I be flexible, or should I adjust this potentially instead of being too married to a specific training schedule.
But most of all, just enjoy the run.
