If you’ve ever been told you can’t, take this as your sign to say “F it” and if you had nobody tell this to you, here it is “I BELIEVE IN YOU”🫶🏼✨

I could not believe my eyes when I saw the pace on yesterday’s run. 😳 A full 4 minutes slower than my usual easy pace! Though pace variations on easy days happen and I am usually a-OK with it, I was surprised bc I thought I genuinely put in a bit of effort into the run. And then, I looked back on my training the last month and figured out the reason.

Three letters.

This is spoken about very little here on IG, but it deserves a lot of attention! While it may not affect everyone the same way, female runners often feel the impact of their cycles and feel a lot more fatigued a few days before their period sets in. It is recommended to take it light on those days and give your body the rest it needs. All the ramping up that needs to happen could be planned from the day your period sets in and all the way for the next 2 weeks. I have honestly had some of my best runs during this time!

I’m glad I took the time to reflect! It has helped me understand what’s going on with my body and plan my runs better going forward!

If you’ve any tips to help with PMS, share them in comments below and let’s help other fellow women runners!! 🏃🏽‍♀️ 👇🏽

Started the year with the single goal of running a marathon in under 5 hours. Did not even run my race.

Was so confident of hitting sub 2:30 in a half this year. Had the shittiest race day.

I had big plans for the winter and ended up not running for over 12 weeks.

These were the only thoughts running in my mind when I thought of 2025. Until I started scanning through my camera roll and found at least a dozen pictures of me smiling and being tired in the pursuit of my goals.

Made me realise this is all that matters.

If 2025 was not the year of big goals or PRs for you, I see you and I’m with you! 🤍

Ever grateful for this community that stuck with me through my quiet little season. 🤍

Finally ready to talk about the why behind the radio silence… a new chapter has been unfolding, slowly and gently.

I’ve watched so many women keep running through everything. I just wasn’t there, yet.

But I’m finding my way back. One slow mile and a whole lot of walking.

For some growth could be faster paces, for other elevation and for others longer distances. For me growth is when what was once hard becomes my new normal. ✨

Don’t let anyone convince you your growth is small. Every growth matters. 🏃🏽‍♀️

Hottake: I actually like treadmill long runs with speedwork in them 😮‍💨

Also I used to wake up at 7am for my long runs cos I could sleep in but the last couple of runs have been me waking up at 4 and at the gym at 4:30am and it just ✨HITS✨

Would you do long runs on the treadmill?

Fall is hands down every runner’s favourite season and it’s just around the corner 🥰 it also means race day is almost here but hey, who’s counting 🥴

This long run truly deserved a space on the feed.

Going into this run, my mind was filled with doubts. Every long run I’ve done this training cycle has felt hard. It is probably because my iron levels and thyroid levels were $#!T but my mind truly did not see all that. All that I had going into this run, can you even run this race? This long run? Without feeling like everything was falling apart? 🫠

Dramatic? Probably. 🤧

And I’m not ashamed to say that I let my doubts win. For a while at least.

Mile 3-4, I was so close to calling it off because every few minutes of me running, my HR shot up and I wanted to walk for a bit. All that had me going was I was a mile away from home and I could call it off after a mile if I still wanted to.

Mile 5 - it’s funny how our mind forgets something so quickly (even sth as brutal as childbirth lol) but that is what happened. I kept going. Walked whenever I wanted but the pace felt less hard now.

Mile 7 - realised that I could keep cribbing saying “this is a bad run” or I could decide to make it a good run and that is what I did. I decided this was going to be a good run. @leah.runs.dpt - your words kept running in my mind. A bad run is just that a bad run and does not mean anything. Said F it to anything my mind said and just ran.

Lo behold, miles 8-12 felt WAY better. 🙂‍↕️

I now know that a run is what I make it to be. Freaking slayed mental demons on this run and I’m DAMN PROUD OF THAT.
