I AM WELL CHUFFED 🤩🤩

When I reluctantly started running at the end of May, I decided my target was to run 5K without walking by the end of August.

With the ups and downs health wise, my terrible aerobic base and refusal to do hills/intervals, my preference for strength training, my teaching schedule and averaging about 1 run per week I was not convinced I would do it.

So, I set out this morning with the hope of a 5K run, but honestly not expecting it.

You've probably clocked by now that it absolutely happened!!!! I didn't walk once, and had enough in the tank to speed through the last 50-100m 🔥🔥

In my husband's words "your stubbornness might not be your best trait, but it is probably your strongest one"

I shall take it!

Have you ever felt like your body just wasn't "built right" for an exercise?

Maybe your squat 🏋🏾‍♀️ looks different.

Or perhaps your warrior one 🧘🏾‍♀️ doesn't match the picture.

You might hace been told there's a "correct" way your body should move.

The truth, however, is far more nuanced.

Form matters, but good form is not about forcing everyone into the same shapes.

🔥 The best movement/position for you is the version that helps you build strength, confidence and capability.
