July marks the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and reset your running goals. Whether you’re a beginner who fell off track or a seasoned runner seeking a new challenge, a mid-year evaluation can help you finish the year stronger, healthier, and more focused.
Step 1
Reflect and Reassess Start by reviewing your progress from January to June. What races did you join? How consistent were you with your weekly mileage? What kept you motivated—or what made you quit? Identifying your wins and pain points will guide how you shape your next six months.
Step 2
Set SMART Running Goals Refocus your goals using the SMART method—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For example, instead of “run more,” try “run a 10K in under 1 hour by October.” Having specific milestones helps you stay accountable.
Step 3
Upgrade Your Gear Sometimes, all you need is a fresh start—literally. Investing in a new pair of running shoes, performance wear, or hydration packs can reignite your motivation. Visit runnr.com.ph to explore top brands like HOKA, ON, and Brooks.
Step 4
Join a Running Community Accountability plays a big role in consistency. Whether it's an online running group or your local runnrclub meet-up, being part of a community adds encouragement, fun, and even friendly competition.
Step 5
Listen to Your Body Avoid the “go hard or go home” trap. Consider your health, schedule, and energy levels when crafting a realistic plan. Cross-training, proper recovery, and nutrition should be part of your reset.
A mid-year reset isn’t about catching up; it’s about recalibrating. Align your intentions, renew your motivation, and let the second half of the year be your strongest yet—with runnr by your side.
