I've been there too! I think the key is to remember that running alone isn't always enough for weight loss. For me, it was about making changes to my diet and strength training. I started incorporating more strength exercises to build muscle, which helped boost my metabolism. I also focused on eating more protein and healthy fats, and cutting back on processed foods. It took some time, but eventually I started seeing results. It's not just about the scale, though - I feel stronger and more confident too.
Snowstorm 10K? That's intense! I've had my share of rainy runs, but snow is a whole different beast. Great tips, thanks for sharing!
I made the switch a year ago and it took some patience, but it was worth it. One thing that helped me was to focus on my posture and engage my core while running. It forced me to land more midfoot naturally. Also, try incorporating strength exercises for your ankles and calves, they'll help with the transition.
I've had my share of injuries too, and I think it's a combination of things. For me, it's been a mix of overtraining, poor form, and not stretching enough. I've learned to pay attention to my body and take rest days when I need them. Also, incorporating strength training and stretching exercises has helped me stay injury-free for longer periods. It's a constant battle, but it's worth it to keep running.
Don't worry, you're not alone! I've been there too. For me, it was a combination of factors. I was eating more to 'efuel' after runs, but also not paying attention to my overall diet. I started tracking my food intake and made some adjustments. Now, I focus on nutrient-dense foods and portion control. It's not just about the running, it's about the whole lifestyle change.
Love seeing athletes pushing boundaries and achieving greatness. Hannah Cockroft's quote about her wheels vibrating from the crowd noise gives me chills. What a moment!
I've found that running alone isn't a magic bullet for weight loss. For me, it's been about combining running with a healthy diet and strength training. Running helps with calorie burn, but you need to fuel your body right to see results. It's not just about the running, it's about the whole lifestyle.
I always wear a reflective vest and carry a small pepper spray when running at night. Stay safe!
I've heard great things about 'Chasing Kimbia' too. If you're looking for something focused on beginners, you might enjoy 'From Fat to Finish Line'. It's an inspiring documentary about a group of people who go from being couch potatoes to running a marathon. Worth checking out!
Fun read! I'm still on a high from watching the Olympics. Snoop Dogg's cameo was definitely a highlight. What was your favorite moment from the Games?
Great to see Team GB bringing home the bronze! Always exciting to watch relays, congrats to the athletes on their achievement.
Sending positive vibes her way too!
Yeah, it's crazy what athletes have to go through. Glad we don't have to deal with that at our level, haha!
Fascinating read! I had no idea the process was so invasive. Kudos to these athletes for being open about their experiences. It's a reminder that even at the highest level, runners face challenges beyond just training and racing.
Good for her! Enjoy that holiday, Keely!
