297. Stop Waiting to Feel Ready

So many runners tell me they want to lose weight, get stronger, or train smarter—but they keep stalling because they’re “not ready yet.”

They want the timing to be perfect, their schedule to clear up, their motivation to kick in.

But here’s the truth: that day never comes.

You don’t suddenly wake up one morning feeling 100% ready to change your diet or run your best marathon.

Readiness isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you create through action.

Every small step you take, even if it’s messy or imperfect, builds confidence and momentum.

In this episode of Running Lean—“Stop Waiting to Feel Ready”—I’m breaking down why waiting keeps you stuck, why imperfect action is the key to progress, and how you can finally stop stalling and start moving toward your goals today.
