If you’ve been following, you know that I trained throughout September with the hopes of improving my 5k finish time.

I started at 31 mins (I was so sad about it, listen to that episode below) and after a strict month involving a lot of running, I was able to cut my time to 19.31 mins!!!

In this episode I record right after the run and talk about how I felt, and touch on what the main things that helped along the journey were.

The treadmill is boring but you can switch it up with some of these workouts shared by Jenny.

She also shares a fantastic glute work out for the abductor machine.

Wednesday arms, back, chest

Thursday 10k, stretch

Friday 25 minute bike, glutes, abs

Saturday, easy 20 min run, strides

Jenny shares her morning work out, which lasted 30 minutes in total. She shared the moment she woke up at 6 through to the end of the work out and reminds you that you don’t need to go to the gym for hours on end to get results.

In the next few episodes, Jenny focuses on her fitness journey in September. As well as a goal to get a faster 5k, she is determined to go to the gym a few times a week. She shares the ups and down of this journey.

This is the final episode in this first block of 8 of the running series. The series aims to celebrate all runners by sharing a diverse range of stories. I hope these first 8 have helped to dispel the notion that to be a runner, you must be a specific type of person with a particular background.

In this episode, I chat to Kristina. She got into running when a friend at work convinced her to run an 8k. She found it very difficult. Then a year later, another friend convinced her to run a half marathon and she felt so depleted at the end of that, she knew for sure she could not run it again or attempt a longer race. So how is it now that a few years later she has run 13 marathons??

We talk about it all from the beginning to now. She has run 6 of the big 7 marathons. She has had great races all around the world (some fuelled by running gel highs), but also shares moments of some not so good ones for example, once in the midst of the Chicago marathon she searched frantically for a tree in to vomit behind. She shares it all and is a perfect example of living, loving and enjoying the running life. She inspired me and I hope she inspires you <3
