The weather in Manchester has been absolutely miserable lately and it is making it so hard to get out of bed for my 6am workouts. I find that my consistency drops massively when it is dark and cold outside. I am looking for some real world advice on how to stay disciplined.

I have started laying out my gym clothes the night before and that helps a little bit. I also recently joined a local running club to have some social accountability, but the gym sessions are still a struggle. I know that showing up is half the battle but some days the sofa feels much more inviting than the squat rack.

What are your best hacks for beating the winter blues? I have heard that using a sunrise alarm clock can make a difference. I am determined to not let my progress slide this year just because the sun is not out.
