Tired of plans that don’t stick? In this episode of Your Running Coach with GMacSpurr podcast, Coach G reveals how mindset coaching transforms your approach to training and helps you sustain growth

Are you feeling stuck in your running, even though you’ve followed all the plans? Maybe you’re constantly tired, doubting yourself mid-run, or frustrated that your fitness isn’t translating into confidence. This episode of Your Running Coach by GMacSpurr podcast dives into why mindset coaching – not just mileage or pace – might be the missing piece in your running journey.

Coach G explains how runners often internalize “not enough” stories that no amount of speed work can fix. You’ll learn why your beliefs, identity, and internal dialogue matter more than just hitting weekly mileage goals. Crucially, you’ll learn how addressing those can lead to more joyful, consistent, and confident running.

Listen to the episode right here, and then read on for some great journal prompts. These will help you delve deeper into how your mindset is contributing to your running story. And why not check out the Runner Mindset Workshop recording at the end of this blog. This will help you understand – and update – what you are telling yourself about you as a runner.
