Be Her

When you’re not a natural runner and you don’t even like running to the car if it’s raining (yes really)…

…my strategy is that if you’re going to run, then you’ve got to just smile through it.

Apart from on the tiniest of inclines.
Then it’s just frowns all the way!

I’ve never actually enjoyed running until finding this whole “conversational pace” pace, and since I can talk the hind legs off a donkey, it’s much more reliable than a Garmin to know how fast (or not!) to run 😉

Today I used She Hydrates, my performance electrolytes - I knew I was going to sweat so I pre-loaded before the run meet up, and then replaced the remainder on the way home.

Taking your electrolytes prior to a long, hot or sweaty session is one strategy that does have evidence behind it and it can be an effective to drive osmotic thirst.

BUT

Do I recommend taking electrolytes daily regardless?
No.
The evidence doesn’t support it.
Do I recommend taking electrolytes every training session?
No, not necessarily.
Do I recommend using an appropriately dosed product before, during and/or after training when conditions are such that electrolyte losses are occurring - YES!

I designed She Hydrates with meaningful quantities of ingredients that matter - when you NEED them.
Not just as a blanket marketing strategy…

Asking the right questions is so important to get the best out of your training aids, but also without wasting money!

Guilty as charged 😬
Who doesn’t love a pull session though…the feeling of really putting your actual back into something is just mmm mmm mmm - am I right? And a sprinkling of delta just because they’re fun too 😝

What’s your favourite session?

Dolly knew. 🖤

You can’t win if you take yourself out of the game.

Stay in it. Keep showing up. See what happens.

The Gap between “I want that” and “I built that”…

It is there for a reason.
It’s not luck. It’s not genetics. It’s not a magic training regime.

You can close The Gap.
Question is, how much do you want to?

She’s not better than you, she just didn’t quit.
Be Her.

It’s definitely not all sunshine and rainbows.
So when it is, make sure you do your best to take a minute and soak it up ☀️ 🌈

Sometimes it’s better not to overthink it.
Easier in the sun wandering aimlessly through pretty cobbled streets, granted.

But sometimes, it’s good to think less and just ‘be’.

Then ironically, it got me thinking…is this mindfulness
or is this the opposite of mindfulness…🤷🏼‍♀️😂
