Motivation and Consistency
Lauren's biggest motivator for consistent workouts was sharing her Apple Watch activity with a mentor at work who was already a runner. The accountability piece and closing her rings was crucial. She also signed up for a relay marathon with her co-workers, which gave her an added incentive to train. Lauren leaned into the 'discomfort creates comfort' mentality and persevered until the workouts became a habit.
