## Resource

Episode 7 of The Consistency Club Podcast is all about the runs you nearly didn’t do - and why those sessions often matter more than the perfect ones. Adam talks about motivation, procrastination and the mental battle that happens before most runs, especially on busy, stressful or low-energy days. Using personal experiences, relatable stories and coaching examples, this episode explores why consistency is built less through motivation and more through habits, identity and reducing friction. This episode covers: Why motivation is unreliable The mental battle before difficult runs Why the runs you nearly skip often matter most How habits and routines reduce decision fatigue The link between running and confidence Why people wrongly label themselves as “quitters” How identity changes through repeated actions Why comfort can hold people back from progress The difference between listening to your body and listening to excuses How action creates motivation more reliably than waiting for motivation Through stories from Adam’s own running journey and common client struggles, this episode is a reminder that consistency isn’t about always feeling motivated - it’s about continuing to show up when motivation disappears.
