7. Running PBs, Plateaus, and the Pressure to "Do More"

Feeling stuck in your running? Hitting a plateau despite following your training plan?   In this episode, Coach G from GMacSpurr Coaching, breaks down why more mileage isn’t always the answer - and how mindset, not just effort, might be the key to your next breakthrough. We’ll explore the hidden reasons behind running plateaus, how pressure and burnout show up for back-of-the-pack and middle-of-the-pack runners, and what it really takes to move forward when progress stalls. If you're chasing a PB, battling low motivation, or wondering if you’re “doing enough”, this one’s for you.  Links: - The Club - because there's more to running than what's featured in Strava.
