How to Become a Better Runner in 2026: 10 Coaching Tips

Starting running is easy. Sticking with it is the hard part.


In this New Year episode, Ben and Anya break down exactly how to build running consistency and avoid another stop-start cycle that fades by February.


Whether you’re looking for beginner running advice, returning after time off, or setting your goals for 2026, this episode is designed to help you build consistency without burnout, avoid the all-or-nothing mindset, and finally make running part of your life - not just your race calendar.


What You'll Learn:

👟Why most runners struggle to stay consistent (and how to fix it)

🧠The all-or-nothing trap that leads to burnout, injury, and quitting

👥 Why starting smaller than you think leads to bigger long-term results

📅 How scheduling your runs properly changes everything

🎧 Finding joy in running - even when motivation is low

📛 Why bad runs don’t matter (and how to bounce back fast)

👟Simple tricks to reduce friction and actually get out the door


This isn’t about chasing PBs or signing up for another event. It’s about becoming someone who runs.


🎧 New episodes every Friday with Olympic legends, elite runners, and expert coaching advice.
