We start with a listener about timing warm-ups before driving to go for a run. Then, we dive into one of the most common questions we hear as running coaches: when is it okay to quit a run? When should you push through? When should you skip a run altogether? How do you discern low motivation versus a legitimate reason to quit a run?
Discussion points include:

Our take on the “no days off” mentality in running
What to do when your running motivation is low
Should you run with a cold or other illness?
Should you run if running is painful?
What to do if a run is not going well 
What to do if you have to skip a long run
What to do if you get sick during your taper
When should you skip your race
When to quit a race (DNF)
