In this episode, we talk about:

• Why feeling unmotivated does not mean you are lazy
• The difference between being tired and making excuses
• How lack of margin and recovery shows up as “low motivation”
• Why I don’t coach motivation and why it is not part of the 4Ms
• A simple self-check to tell if you need rest or accountability
• How to adjust training without losing momentum
• Why consistency matters more than intensity
• How these lessons apply beyond running and into everyday life

The 4Ms Blueprint mentioned in this episode:

• Mindset: Learning how to talk to yourself like an athlete, not a failure
• Movement: Smart, sustainable training that fits your life and body
• Moderation: Balancing training, recovery, fueling, and real life without guilt
• Momentum: Building consistency through small wins, even on tired days

Key takeaway:

You don’t need motivation to keep going. You need a framework that supports you on tired days, messy weeks, and real life seasons.

You’re not lazy. You’re tired. And tired doesn’t mean stop. It means listen, adjust, and keep going.
