✨🇩🇪Berlin Marathon Magic🇩🇪✨🏃🏼‍♀️2:55:41 - a good day to have a good day! I did a few things differently this block. One of them being focusing on my mindset & channeling positive self-talk (I know, cringe)… but I honestly feel that carried me (us @7eamsim ) to a 4min PB today💭… that along with the RIDICULOUS amount of lovely support messages I received beforehand from people outwith my “inner circle” - you are all my people❤️ 3rd major complete✔️ #DoHardShit < @jase_donaldson to me everyday the last 16weeks👌🏼 by @jen_don28

“Never take it for granted”… this was from a message a friend sent me yesterday saying how great it is being able to do sport with your other half, and I couldn’t agree more. Running has very much shaped my life… but the race is lonely. Being in it with @jase_donaldson over the weekend was a special kind of feeling & I’m so lucky that we share the same passions, drive & (slightly unhinged) competitive determination in pushing ourselves outwith our comfort zones. “Shall we enter another one?” 10mins post finishing = v.clear indicator of our addictive personalities🫣😎 #Hyrox by @jen_don28

Honestly still not over how GOOD(!!) it was to see (and be a part of) a half marathon event back in Aberdeen👏🏼Equally not over the support out on the course from those spectating… what a ✨vibe✨ & there was something pretty damn cool about sharing the course with so many friends & familiar faces. In it together, chasing the clock.Found myself really excited for this race, mainly because the (self-imposed) pressure was off. Genuinely wasn’t sure where I was “at” after various events the last couple of months. Admittedly, I did find my brain post-race briefly jumping to those 14secs I couldn’t quite find to go sub80, but was quickly reminded of the 27secs I did find to run a PB. ✨Perspective is everything✨LOVE RUNNING ❤️📍Aberdeen HM⏱️80:13 🥈 2nd Female | 48th Overall@abdnmarathon #RaceHappy 🏃🏼‍♀️ by @jen_don28

When you’re in your own lane, there will never be any traffic🏃🏼‍♀️❤️It’s SO easy to compare. Pace. Progress. Results.Someone else’s chapter 100 to your current chapter 5.It’s almost easier at times to look outwards than inwards, but (& speaking from experience!!) that comparison can make for some noisy internal thoughts. Inward focus.Trust the plan.Celebrate YOUR progress. 💭#LoveTheRun by @jen_don28

There’s something fun about going in a multi-terrain race. The (self imposed) pressure of chasing a finishing time and hitting certain paces disappears.In a world where literally everyone seems to be chasing time goals, it’s sometimes good to step away from the pure road races and take your mind off the watch & just race by feel.You still get to compete, but it feels more relaxed and can be the ✨perfect✨ little reminder of why you enjoy racing in the first place ❤️📍Chapelton 10km⏱️38:15 🥇1st Female | 8th Overall *all photos on road sections so we don’t draw attention to my trail running form😉#RaceHappy by @jen_don28

“Must be nice to have the time”Us: starting our session when the clock was still on 05:XX 🤫In all seriousness though:1️⃣If you truly want it, you’ll make the time. What gets planned gets completed, etc.2️⃣Surround yourself with the good people who make getting after goals that little bit easier. Even if that looks like finishing the first rep & both saying “oh sh*t” @ruth_running 👀3️⃣ Balancing all things life isn’t always going to be easy (is it ever?) & that might look like not saying “yes” to everything all the time. Be selective with your “yes”. Make time for your goal-getting. 4️⃣ Progress rarely comes from having more time. It usually comes from making the most of the time you do have. 5️⃣ A moment for @thomaslindie filming this mid-rep like it’s light work😮‍💨👏🏼 by @jen_don28
