Episode 346 - From Zero to Ultra: Robina Juanir’s Inspiring Running Journey
In this episode of the FitMIND FitBODY podcast, I chat with the energetic and inspiring Robina Juanir. Robina shares her unique journey from growing up in the Philippines to finding a love for running in Australia. Her story begins in a small, isolated area where sports were not a big part of her life. However, her dedication to academics led her to explore various activities, including sports, to maintain her grades.
After moving to Australia, Robina discovered running through park runs with her family. She quickly became hooked, finding joy and motivation in each run. Despite initially starting running to spend time with her kids, she soon set ambitious goals, even completing a 100-kilometer trail race. Robina’s enthusiasm and dedication are truly inspiring, showing that it’s never too late to start running and achieve big goals.
Tune in to hear Robina’s incredible journey, her insights on running, and her practical tips for beginners. Whether you’re new to running or looking for inspiration, Robina’s story will motivate you to lace up your shoes and hit the pavement.
Robina’s Running Tips:
1. Start Slow: Begin with a mix of walking and running. This helps build endurance gradually without overwhelming your body.
2. Enjoy the Process: Focus on the joy of running rather than setting strict goals. Enjoy the movement and the experience.
3. Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body feels. If you need to slow down or walk, do so.
4. Don’t Compare: Avoid comparing yourself to others. Everyone’s running journey is unique.
5. Stay Motivated: Find what motivates you, whether it’s setting small goals, exploring new routes, or running with friends and family.
6. Consistency is Key: Regular runs, even short ones, help build a habit and improve fitness over time.
7. Embrace the Community: Joining a running community can provide support and encouragement.
8. Adapt to Your Environment: Be flexible and adapt your running to different environments, whether it’s trails or roads.
9. Recovery is Important: Take rest days and allow your body to recover, especially after long runs or races.
10. Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge and celebrate small achievements along your running journey.
