1. You don’t need that many electrolytes 🧂- You don’t even need them all the time, especially now that the days are getting colder. However, race day and big efforts are different. I’m confident that most people don’t—and if they do they’re lying—check the sodium level in their diet before they start running. I just did it for the first time last month, and I’ve been running like this since July 2023. I say this because you should really audit everything you’re consuming before you decide to throw in another gram of sodium.

2. You’re not undertrained, you’re underconfident 🧩 - Stop convincing yourself you “didn’t do enough.” For what it’s worth, you probably did. As long as you complete 80% of your workouts, you’re in great shape. The problem isn’t your fitness. It’s your brain’s refusal to believe in it.

3. You’re not always going to feel good 😩 - If you’ve been running for a long time then you have probably realized by now that rarely do you ever feel 100%. That’s just part of the sport. Unless you take off for a while, most of the time you will probably feel alright, fine, or tired. It’s not often you will feel amazing going into a run and after an effort. This isn’t to discourage you, just trying to manage expectations. But if you’re longing for some time off and want to feel better faster, take a few days off and focus on recovery. 

4. Stop guessing and get your blood checked 🩸- #ad It’s one thing to feel good, it’s another to actually know if you are. If you want to know what’s really going on, you need to look under the hood. One of the easier ways to do this is by getting an at-home blood test. It’s usually cheaper than lab work, especially if you’re paying out of pocket. Running is performance, but it’s also health. Stop guessing and get checked at home with hone.health. #HoneHealthPartner #HoneDreamChasers

5. Running doesn’t owe you anything 🎭 - You can follow every plan, eat every carb, and still have a bad race. That’s the deal. The sooner you stop expecting running to reward you, the more you’ll actually enjoy it. 

6. Smile, or you’re doing it wrong 😑 - Taken from the great amglaze. If you can’t enjoy it then what’s the use?
