POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

[Cont’d from Slide 3]

It was a reel for beginner runners. For the life of me, I didn’t understand how people ran continuously. I’m still in the process of understanding running zones and what they mean for my body.

God bless @jacintarobinson_ honestly. I wish I could link the reel here.

Basically, you need to train your body to endure bouts of running mixed with walks & once comfortable, you push that time limit.

So I followed her plan and I started with a brisk walk of 5 minutes [I usually walk fast too hence brisk walk. You can swap that with a normal walk too.] This, followed by a minute of running and 90 seconds [1.5 minutes] of walk again.

By now, I was already huffing. Maybe bec my mind was focusing on the fact I could only walk for 40 more seconds before I have to run again, we’ll psychoanalyse later. Followed by another bout of 60 second run & 90 second walk. And that’s where I ended my run today.

I covered 1.27KM & the pace was less than ideal. Neither my desired distance nor the pace but I’m much more happy with this run than anything else lately.

And this is how, I’m back here on this account instead of deleting all this in shame. That’s how a reel saved my run journey journal.

25/09/26 — Mediocre run today but at least I broke the myth of me not running.

Distance: 1.42KM
Pace: 8:45/KM
Time: 12m 27s

Run Journal:
I ran after such a long time it feels like months when it’s only been 12 days I think. I had a very long week after my last run & frankly, I thought I would run on the weekend but then work spilled onto weekend as well.

I wanted to fight the urge & get up for even a walk but it felt like so hard [which is obviously no excuse but that’s what happened].

Throughout this week, I would finish work every day and think I’ll wear my shoes now & just go out. Every dang day, I would fail & rest. It wasn’t just me preferring comfort or sleep over a run. It was more of a ‘my life needs me to show up for X or I need to do Y.’ Before I even knew it, another day had gone by and I hadn’t come back to running.

I wanted to complete 2K, as is my commitment to myself, but I didn’t push myself too hard after such a long break.

OH AND I got a headache when I came back. I think it’s lack of hydration & also pushing myself after a break. I did some stretches before running though, so no shin or knee pains.

But I’ll end the entry with a small [fake, bec it doesn’t feel like an achievement] good fact:

I got another medal today. Fastest KM in under 8 minutes. Again, I don’t always run the entire time. It’s a mix of brisk walk, jog & run.

Toodles now. 👟
