Summary
In the very first episode of The Consistency Club Podcast, Adam talks about one of the biggest reasons people struggle with running and fitness. Not because they’re lazy, but because they’re trying to do too much, too hard, too soon. Adam shares his own personal story of how running became an escape during a difficult period of his life whilst living in Preston during COVID, and how constantly treating every run like a race nearly made him fall out of love with it completely. This episode covers: Why most beginner runners think they’re failing The mistake of running every session too hard How slowing down actually improved consistency and fitness Why easy running works The mental health benefits of running Why consistency matters more than perfection The problem with all-or-nothing dieting Appetite, hunger and running Why fitness is built quietly over time How running changes your identity and confidence This episode is a reminder that you do not need to destroy yourself every run to make progress. Sometimes the biggest improvements happen when you stop trying to prove your fitness and simply focus on showing up consistently.
