If I was starting my running journey again… this is exactly what I’d change 🏃♀️
I used to think harder runs, less rest and just “winging it” would get me fitter faster.
Spoiler: it didn’t.
Learning how to pace properly, fuel well, strength train, recover, managing injuries, follow a plan and stop comparing myself to everyone online, completely changed how I run.
Which takes time… But is possible 🕰️
I’d also highly recommend getting assessed by a physio early on (I’ve done mine with MOVE Physio) to understand weaknesses, movement patterns and areas to improve… it’s one of the best ways to get stronger, stay fitter and reduce injury risk long-term.
Now I balance running with everything else I like to do alongside working as a full-time sales & marketing coordinator… and I’m fitter as a result of it.
If you’re new to running or chasing big goals alongside a busy life, save this for later ✨
Which one do you need to work on most right now?
