This week on I Don’t Know Running, Lewis admits he's a lazy ultrarunner with lunch money and Mitch just wants better coffee. But don’t worry—we eventually get to the topic: staying consistent with your running!

We break down the real reasons why consistency matters, how it affects your physical, mental, and emotional health, and how to overcome the common motivation killers like bad weather, family schedules, and that comfy couch. Plus, strategies that actually work—from setting realistic goals and tracking progress to embracing variety and finding your "why."
