Devil On My Tail

With the kids on their summer holiday I’ve not been able to get out as often as usual which was making me feel a bit pants physically. So I started doing a low impact strength training workout online that focused primarily on those butt muscles and legs. The first couple of time I did it I struggled to walk straight 🤣😳😂 but I kept at it and I think it’s had a huge impact on my running 💪🏼💪🏼 Today’s felt amazing and I could have kept going but decided to stop and not push too hard not having run in a week…..want to keep going forwards instead of 10 steps back 😉 Clearly mixing it up and adding some rest days is a recipe for success and ones overall !! What do you do to help work on your ?

What’s not to love about trying not to fall backwards when scrambling up a hillside 🤣 Just one of the many things I love about 👌🏼🏃🏽‍♀️

This may not have been my fastest time but was definitely one for the books as I managed to get my 12 year old to join me (even though it was with scooter) in the scorching heat this morning!! One step at a time to get my mini me’s into running 😉🤣💪🏼

Thank you very much 💪🏼😳🤪 still can’t quite believe I achieved that - if you can …….. you definitely can!!!!!! What is your best achievement to date?

Just because it’s hammering it down with rain doesn’t mean I can’t run!!! If you’re lucky enough to have access to a running machine then there is no excuse 🤪 definitely not as pleasurable as but definitely pleasurable for your 🤣👌🏼❤️🏃🏽‍♀️

It’s definitely getting harder in this heat but I wouldn’t change the temperature for anything. I do try to get out that little bit earlier but to be honest - it’s not making much of a difference at the moment. With this heat however I have learnt that hydrating and eating properly are key to not passing out 🤪 A pint of electrolyte solution as soon as I get back in, is key to stopping and for lunches I’ve been making sure I eat lots of leafy greens, protein and (I bloody love carbs now 🤣) How do you keep your body going in this heat? I would love to hear your tips and tricks as I’ve basically gone with what my body tells me - no science or research 😳 ❤️🏃🏽‍♀️

Having become a (feels odd saying that!!) I now understand this better than ever and it’s so damn true!!! I used to be careful about what I eat and had small portion sizes. Now........I’m still careful about what I eat (ie. stick with healthy foods as much as possible) but I can’t stop eating 🤣😂 My body needs refuelling to be able to keep getting out there to use my legs!!! And it’s an amazing feeling to eat like when I was a kid knowing it’s actually all serving a purpose for the good of my body and running 👌🏼❤️🏃🏽‍♀️

Can’t quite believe my eyes 👀 💪🏼It was damn hot out there even at 6.05am so instead of aiming for distance I decided to go for speed!!! Goes to show that working towards a target can work 😳🤣🏃🏽‍♀️❤️

My thought every time I head out for a 💪🏼🏃🏽‍♀️ What thoughts give you your ?
