237. What to Do When You Feel Stuck

July 12, 2024

So many people I talk to about losing weight or running faster tell me they just can’t seem to make any progress because they feel stuck.


This is a really tough place to be because when you feel stuck, it’s like there’s nothing you can do to get out of it.


You feel like nothing will ever work, you feel discouraged, and you feel defeated.


And what do you do when you feel defeated? You give up. You quit.


Why bother eating right if you’re never going to lose weight?


Why bother doing the speedwork if I’m never going to break 4 hours in the marathon?


There’s a better way to approach these things.


Today on the podcast, what to do when you feel stuck so you can get back on track making progress toward your goals.
