NoQuitters – Coupon Extended

Several people have said that due to the holiday weekend they didn’t see this email until after the “NoQuitters” coupon expired. In response, we’ve extended the coupon code until 11:59 pm om January 21, 2020. Register for The Last Annual Sloppy Fools Trail RunMedved Madness Trail Race and Relays, and The Medved 5k to Cure ALS with the coupon code “NoQuitters” and receive 10% off.
Our friends at Strava have analyzed data from their 42 million athletes and have determined that January 19th is the day people are most likely to give up on their fitness goals for the year.

That’s just sad.

Here are some tips to help you stick with your running goals in 2020:

1. Workout in the morning. Scheduling your exercise for the first part of the day will make you more likely to get it done. You are much more likely to skip your run if you wait until after work.

2. Workout with friends. Having an accountability partner will help you stay more consistent. You won’t skip your workout if your best friend is waiting for you. Our Free Thursday Night Fun Runs are a great way to get together with your running buddies or make a few new friends.

3. Join a club. People that are involved in a running club are three times more active than people that are not involved in a club. Check out our Medved Endurance Project. Members can participate in Saturday morning workouts, receive 25% off all Medved training programs, and discounts to dozens of races throughout the year. It is a great deal at just $50 annually.

4. Sign up for a race. People that have race goals are much more likely to be active six months into the year. Today only, The Last Annual Sloppy Fools Trail RunMedved Madness Trail Race and Relays, and The Medved 5k to Cure ALS are offering a 10% discount with the coupon code “NoQuitters.”

5. Cross Train. People that are involved in other activities in addition to running are more likely to stay active throughout the year. Ride your bike, go for hikes, play pickup basketball, lift heavy things, it doesn’t matter. Find the exercise you like to do and do it. Check out Next Level Strength and Conditioning. They are starting a strength training for runners program.

Make 2020 the year that you set a goal and stick to it.
