In this episode of RunPod, host Jenny Falconer welcomes listeners to The Extra Mile, sharing insights relevant for January 2026, a time often filled with New Year's resolutions. Falconer reflects on how many people begin the year with high hopes and ambitious plans, but often find themselves struggling to maintain that momentum as the months progress.
She argues that while resolutions may be grand, they tend to lose their luster quickly. Instead, she highlights the power of consistency, which is the act of showing up even when motivation is low or progress feels slow. Falconer reassures listeners that all types of runs—short, easy, or those that do not meet expectations—are valuable as they contribute to building a habit.
The key takeaway is that one does not need to become a new version of themselves to make progress; rather, consistent commitment to running can lead to significant improvements over time. Falconer encourages her audience to focus on small, sustainable commitments rather than overwhelming resolutions, reminding them that consistency is the path to success in running and beyond.
