S2:E21 Making Long Runs Enjoyable
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Long runs are a cornerstone of endurance training, but they are also one of the most common reasons runners lose motivation or consistency.
In this episode of the Run Breiter Podcast, Sam and Colleen break down how to approach long runs in a way that keeps them engaging and sustainable, whether you are logging miles outside or stuck on the treadmill. They discuss common mistakes runners make, key mindset shifts, and how to reframe long runs as a productive part of the training process rather than something to simply get through.
This episode is for runners training for any distance who want to stay consistent, mentally sharp, and bought into the work when long runs start to feel monotonous.
