1) Embrace Your Runner Identity: if you can run for 60 seconds, you're a runner, challenging the notion that only those who participate in races or marathons are runners.
2) Future Pacing for Motivation: use the technique of future pacing to motivate oneself to run, especially on difficult days. This involves visualising how good you'll feel after the run.
3) Preparation and Routine: preparing your running gear the night before and setting a motivational song as your alarm to help get out the door, especially when motivation is low.
4) Flexibility in Running Schedule: be flexibility in running schedules, encouraging running at different times of the day to find what works best for you.
5) Running as a Mental Exercise: try viewing running not just as physical exercise but as a mental one, where you find space to reflect and generate new ideas.
6) Incorporating Strength Training: strength training that supports your running - brings balance to your fitness routine.
