Something about running with friends always brings a smile to my face and warms the soul 🥹

Marathon training hasn’t gone to plan this past month with multiple injuries derailing me from running - and that’s life.

Sometimes the most you can do is all you can do

1 week to go till race day

Stay tuned

Stay 🔒’d in

You gotta stick with it. Keep showing up, be patient, put the work in and believe in yourself! 🤛🏻

After running mostly in Zone 2, I wasn’t sure if I could sustain 10kms @ 5’50 and 5’40. The confidence of self-belief grows from *taking action* and surprise surprise all I had to do was SHOW UP, finito @ 5’47 and 5’21! ⚡️

Shoutout @cpkc for sendinggg it with me 🤙🏻

Lessons learnt:
✨Give yourself the chance to do it imperfectly and w/o criticising your attempts

✨Our brains respond to evidence, so goddamit let’s create some evidence with actions

✨Gotta improve my sense of direction cause ngl I took 2 wrong turns 😅

✨Keep running form consistent, got sloppy towards end of the run

Progress is progress.

R u even a runner if you dont 🗣️ everyone including the barista “I RaN 25kM tOdAy”? Jks loved her energy and smoothie was delishhhh 🤌🏻

Shoutout to Cathy, Andrew + Pingu for joining mid run 🫶🏻 Can you see my excitement with these new Nike kicks! 👟 (shoutout @thepodlifts for the reco 🫶🏻)

⭐️ Question: “If you had to run with someone, who would it be and why?”

You’d probably choose a friend who’s positive, supportive and encouraging!

And I’ve learnt it’s important to be THAT friend to yourself esp during difficult times/runs. Be kind, encourage yourself & run with confidence✨

We don’t often train together but when we do… 🤪

I’ll be honest, I haven’t been running as often as I’d like and it’s honestly just so cold in London!

Instead, I’ve really enjoyed 🏋️ and this is probably the strongest I’ve been? Hard not to progressively lift heavy week-on-week when you see AJ with his stack of weights 💦

Todays spontaneous back session consisted of:
* Machine lat pulldowns:
* 80kgx 8r, 84.5kg x6r, 87.5kg x6r
* Seated machine rows
* 87.5kg x8r
* 95kg x8r
* Cable lats pull? 26kg, 31kg, 28kg x 8r
* 15kg weighted pull ups: 6, 6, 5
Biceps
* Hammer curls: 17.5kg x8r x3s
* Double hand cables: 13.75kg x8r x 3s
* 21 Ez bar curls 15kg x 3s

Not everything goes as planned but thankfully we can learn, pivot and continue onto the next page.

Blessed with friends that made Bosnia + Croatia memorable and adventurous! ❤️

NTS: 15hr bus ride is brutal but it’s worth every bump to meetup with people that make you smile 😊

Solo travelling 🇭🇺 + 🇲🇰 - Love it or hate it you gotta try it at least once!

If you’re open to it and put yourself out there, you could meet some really cool like minded people.

A few friends have asked doesn’t it get lonely, and I can honestly say, sometimes? I reframe it as embracing solitude, having you time, a relationship with yourself. How often do we spend time to get to know ourselves better?

Try. New. Things. Do things you normally wouldn’t do. Discover your authentic self when you’re solo. It’s refreshing, empowering and most of all, fun 🙂

The friends i made and the adventures we went on made Budapest and North Macedonia THAT much more special 🥹✨

It was sad saying goodbye, but I hope we meet again in the future ❤️

“Time is the most valuable currency in life, spend it wisely”

Investing this time in life to being curious and going on adventures 🗺️

Grateful for the time in solitude and with friends, sharing your favourite eats, running routes, music & life in London ❤️

Here’s to doing what you want with your 4000 weeks on 🌍 ✌🏻

Off. He. Goes. Into. The. Distance ✌🏻

It feels like I’ve lived 3 lifetimes this past year.

And it’s thanks to the friendships made and the memories we’ve created (soz IG only lets me highlight 10 photos & tag 20 people) 🫶🏻

Off ✈️ to London and I’m grateful for all the love, support & inspiration I’ve experienced throughout these friendships. You all made 🇦🇺 feel like home and I’m forever grateful 🥹

I would’ve never thought I would run a marathon (or do a backflip) after a year of lacing em up 👟. It shows it really only takes one foot in front of the other, some crazy ass friends + belief in yourself @the.adameffect

“Chase change. Don’t let change chase you” @alexispredez. Might as well do something a bit crazy, whatever that may be 🤷🏻‍♂️ taken in Sydney, Australia by @the.adameffect
