@Lauren Redhead hope it heals quickly for you. Rest is a good foundation for running x

Hi! Not sure I have had many key wins this week as I’ve not run as much mainly due to a busy work week and a bit of fatigue. I have managed a couple of strength training sessions though. Obstacles are always the same… time, work, motivation, confidence !

Work is probably the most significant stressor for me! I am constantly trying to figure out how I can manage it better. Some of it is the physical act of doing the job and the rest is the psychological stuff that comes alongside it. I try and tell myself that I can only control what I do and I have to try not to let politics of work etc impact on me. It’s a challenge though! Running gives me a space from that but after a long day, it’s not always easy to find the motivation when I want to curl up in a ball! Going for a run is in my control though ! I try and be mindful and stay in the present .

Hi! Goals this week are to carry on with the training as I have two half marathons in September. My obstacles are always my confidence.

Hello!! Nice to be here 😊 1) my goal is the get through my first long trail run which I’m doing on my own this Saturday - with other people but not with my husband ! He’s usually with me. I’m a bit anxious about getting lost - and all the hills! 2) Obstacles- definitely my confidence and anxiety!
