Read This If You’re Thinking About Bailing On Your Run Today

When you’ve got nothing but winning on the brain.

When you can't possibly run another mile.

When your legs want to quit, go home, and curl up with a good book.

When you need a refresher on the power of running.

When your brain decides to run, but your body hasn’t caught up yet.

When you need to be reminded why you started in the first place.

When the lows start weighing on you.

When the road starts to feel lonely.

When you're struggling through a tough run.

When the competition jitters start to set in.

When you feel like you’re not good enough.

When you feel totally tapped out.

When you’re having trouble accepting defeat.

When comparison has you doubting your power.

When you need to trust the process.

When it’s no longer about winning the race.

When a lacing up your sneakers just doesn’t feel worth it today.

When setting an intention is more important than setting a PR.

When you need to tap in to your inner strength.

When past performances start clouding your mind.

When you need a reminder that even the best have bad days.

When you forget why you signed up for this.

When you need some perspective.

When you fall short at the finish line.

When the struggle to start moving is too real.

When you need a reminder that you’re a badass woman and a runner.

When the pressure to be “great” starts setting in.

When you are focusing on others instead of yourself.

When you come down with a case of imposter syndrome.

When all you can think about is giving up.

Some days, it's easy to lace up your sneakers and run mile after mile with ease. But other days—whether you're recovering from an injury or just feeling off—finding the motivation to pound the pavement can be challenging.

These running quotes are all the motivation you’ll need to hit the road and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Each is a reminder that your runs won’t always be euphoric, or rain-free, or pain-free—but they will always be worth it.

"The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare."
