Just because you’re in the best shape of your life right now, doesn’t mean this is the best shape you’ll ever be in. It simply means that this is the farthest you’ve ever been so far.

The awkward moment…

You spend 2 and a half hours in the gym without realizing it.

I love not having to revise….

Yesterday I spent most of the day being hungover and sleeping before run club but today I’m going to fully enjoy being free.

Going to body pump now - going to be careful as the other day when I had that surreal body pump session I red my back! Then I’m going to spend some time in the gym - go on the video game bike!

Then I’m thinking about maybe going to whole foods later or maybe heading into central to see what the world has to offer :)

Have a great day everyone!

Can I just say how jealous I am of you for being a natural runner? :( I've been running and training consistently for 4 months now (not long, I know) and still struggle to run 4 miles in 40 minutes. I'll never be able to get anywhere near your PRs, even with speed workouts. :(

I can tell you this now - you are always capable of more than yourll ever think. Keep training - keep pushing yourself. In those speed workouts push yourself for a bit longer than you want - it does pay off I promise. I had to work hard to get where I am and I’m going to have to put so much more in this summer to get better. It’s not always fun - it is so easy to just go out there and run comfortably but don’t limit yourself by what you think you can do - aim for the best and try your hardest. I promise you are capable of more than you believe. And and I promise you this - I’ve seen slot of runners at run club that struggle with a 10 minute pace so really don’t compare yourself to others. This is each of our journeys and it is hard to seethe far we have gone when comparing. You’ve been putting the work in and keep on believing in yourself!

sorry what do you mean by "Or follow the couch to 5k" exactly? :)

Its a programme that tells you when to run and tells you what to do during each run - ie. Walk/run intervals. My sister followed it with the iPod app and it really helped her. If you don’t have an iPod/iPhone then they do have the workout schedule online. Just search couch to 5k. If your looking at trying to run cross country it would be a great starting point!

Hi, i have a very tough disision 2 make n i thought i would ask u for some help. I started track this year and i was a sprinter for winter and spring season. I was awful, never good but i enjoyed it VERY much. XC is coming up. Im contemplating joining but i really don't know if i should. The idea sounds amazing, but i can barely run a mile without falling over. coach wants us to run 3-5 miles in the summer before the season starts. XC would require multiple miles. How would i b able to do it?

If you enjoy track there’s no reason you won’t love cross country. We all started at this point somewhere so if you have got the fire then you can get there too! Take it slow - do lot of walk/running and in no time you will be running only! You don’t have to go fast - you just have to go. Give it a go - don’t get caught up with the timings or the distance - get the running under your belt and you willfall in love with xc too!

Why not start off with the couch to 5k programme to get you going?! It’s a great way to start!
