In this New Year’s episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we’re joined by Nadia Ruiz, also known as @irongirlnadia on Instagram, to discuss how runners can kick-start their journey or elevate their training in 2025. Whether you’re setting your first running goal or aiming for a new personal best, Nadia shares her insights on how to set realistic yet challenging goals, stay motivated during the winter months, and break through plateaus. With the fresh start of the year, it’s the perfect time to embrace a holistic approach to training—focusing not only on running but also on strength, recovery, and mindset.

As New Year’s resolutions often fade, Nadia offers tips on how to keep your training goals consistent, even when life gets busy. She emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, staying flexible with your goals, and using the first few months of the year to lay a strong foundation for success in bigger races later on. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting, Nadia’s advice will help you stay excited and motivated throughout the year, making 2024 your best running year yet!
