🥇10K, 51 mins, one dodgy ankle… and a medal to prove it! Ran through the pain, smiled through the sweat, and crossed that finish line like a boss at the One Race, 📍 Regent’s Park 🏞️

Big shoutout to my MUVRZ crew-smashing PBs at 48 and 50 mins! There’s truly nothing better than finding your tribe, chasing goals together, and running in the sunshine surrounded by London’s beauty.

Some run for time, we run for the vibe… and maybe a little post-race brunch. ☀️👟✨You can’t go wrong with @asics 👟 | Fit: @aybl | @getswifter 🎽

Medal Monday X First Race of 2025… and I’m So Glad I Didn’t Hit Snooze 🏃🏽‍♀️✨(DAY 26 of 66)

Woke up at 6AM on Sunday, staring at my alarm and asking myself: “Why are you doing this?” It was freezing outside, my body was sore from prior training, and thoughts of traveling via TFL to the race, wasn’t making life any easier. Every logical bone in my body was telling me to stay home, stretch, sip some water, and call it a “self-care Sunday.” But no—apparently, I had to add a 7th day of training/running to my week. Fast forward to 10km later; crossing the finish line, and wow—those doubts? Left in the dust….

It wasn’t easy, and I questioned my sanity at least a thousand times during the first kilometre, but that energy at the finish line made it all worth it, and my reminder, that pushing through those moments of hesitation and SHOWING UP is always worth it!! That’s what #Gymshark66 is all about!! 💪🏽💫

Moral of the story: Sometimes, the hardest part is just SHOWING UP. The excuses will always be there, but so will the opportunity to grow. The finish line will always feel better than staying comfortable. 💯 🙌🏽
Let’s show up this week? Let’s make 2025 the year of getting it done—even when you don’t feel like it. 💪🏽✨

Thank you to @runthroughuk for putting on an incredibly organised event (as usual) and for creating a positive, fun filled atmosphere. Congrats to all that showed up and got it done!! ✅ 🤩💪🏽🏃🏽‍♀️♥️

POWER OF A WOMAN AWARDS NOMINEE 2025 ✨

Thank you @thepowerawards for organising such an incredible evening and for the recognition. Not just for myself but for recognising all the trailblazing women in their fields.

Being alongside such remarkable women is an honour and together we elevate the standards of strength perseverance and empowerment. I am truly grateful
🤩♥️💯

As a lady in her 40’s, I encourage embracing the realities of life over forty and changing the narrative of midlife to a time for continued development, new experiences and to feel inspired to keep evolving.

I empower both physical and mental wellness through fitness and advocate for the powerful connection between movement and mental health at any age, using fitness as a tool to build resilience, boost confidence, and create a positive mindset.

My mission is to inspire and uplift, proving that fitness isn’t just about the body; it’s about strengthening the mind and transforming lives.

Forever grateful to the Almighty 🤲🏽 for blessing me with a passion and purpose, and giving me the opportunites to help, support and inspire others 💫🤲🏽♥️

ALWAYS BUILDING 💪🏽 WHY?…

Because naturally, we begin to lose muscle mass from around our 30s, making our 40s an important time to be more intentional about building and maintaining strength.
This is where the mindset shifts. It’s no longer just about burning calories or chasing a smaller body.

It’s about preserving muscle, supporting bone health, maintaining mobility and building a body that will carry you STRONG into your future. 🔥

We’re not just training for how we look today, but for how we want to MOVE, FEEL and LIVE in the years to come. 🙌🏽🤩💪🏽

S/O to my 40kg squad! 🏋🏽‍♀️ I remember when I genuinely thought 40kg was impossible for me… and now look at me! 🤯💫🤩

Proof that sometimes, the only thing standing between you and what you think is impossible is CONSISTENCY, COURAGE and the willingness to TRY.

Keep showing up. Keep building 💪🏽
Keep surprising yourself. ❤️

WE’RE NOT SHRINKING OURSELVES — WE’RE BUILDING OURSELVES! 🔥

HIIT TRAINING WEEK 8 - Girls Having Fun 🤩💪🏽

Eight weeks in, and I’m really starting to understand why there’s something so powerful about training this way.

It’s all about what your body is capable of doing…
Ask yourself…

What’s ONE thing you want your body to be able to do 5 or 10 years from now that it can’t do today?

Maybe it’s running further, lifting heavier, having more energy, feeling stronger, keeping up with your kids, or simply feeling confident and comfortable in your own body.

Whatever it is, work towards it!! And most importantly enjoy the process.

Let’s normalise getting STRONGER with age, not smaller. ❤️🔥

HIIT TRAINING MONTAGE - WEEK 7
It does get easier… right? Well… kind of 😅

HIIT doesn’t necessarily get easier, you get stronger 💪🏽
The whole purpose of HIIT is to push your body towards its maximum effort.

As your cardiovascular fitness improves, your body becomes more capable of producing power, so your new maximum is higher than it was before.

That means you might run faster, push harder, recover quicker between intervals and tolerate more work…but when you reach that red zone, your body still knows it’s working 😓

The burning.🔥
The heavy breathing.😮‍💨
The moment you’re questioning your life choices. 😂
That feeling of having nothing left…

That’s the challenge.The difference is that Week 7 me can do more than Week 1 me could.

So maybe it hasn’t become easier. Maybe I’ve just become stronger. And that, for me, is the real beauty of training, not expecting the challenge to disappear, but becoming the person who can handle more of it.

You may not notice the progress day to day, but trust me… your body knows. Your mind knows. And eventually, you will too. ❤️‍🔥

WHAT HAVE I GOT MYSELF INTO? 💭🤨

Will I have the stamina? Can I keep up?
Will I enjoy it?

Six weeks later… I’m pleasantly surprised by myself. ❤️

I can feel the difference, better conditioning, improved stamina, greater endurance and a stronger sense of what my body is capable of.

It’s challenged me in ways that traditional weight training doesn’t, and I’m really enjoying the balance.

A special shoutout to my training partner @nessa10paul 🤍 Thank you for pushing me, keeping me accountable and making every session that little bit more enjoyable.

Training with the right person really does make a difference. 💫

Sometimes the biggest growth comes from doing something you’re not entirely sure you can do…
I questioned whether I’d be able to do it. Now I’m looking forward to seeing just how far I can take it. 💪🏽🔥

6 weeks in…WE ON GO!!!! 🙌🏽♥️🙌🏽

HIIT TRAINING MONTAGE — 5 WEEKS OF CONSISTENCY! 🔥

Five weeks of showing up, pushing myself and embracing a completely new approach to training.

This has been a new implementation for me, and honestly, I’m enjoying every moment of it. ❤️

Stepping outside my comfort zone, challenging my mind and body, and reminding myself that growth happens when you’re willing to do something different.

This one is for my genuine followers and fellow fitness advocates. 🫶🏽

Whatever it is you’re working towards; just keep going. See it through. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be consistent.

> Keep showing up for yourself.
> Keep challenging yourself.
> Keep going when it gets uncomfortable.

Your future self will thank you.
With love ❤️🙏🏽

AKIN x ASICS 🖤🤍

NOVABLAST 5 PLATINUM SERIES — Trial Run 👟🔥

I’ve owned multiple pairs of ASICS over the years, and they continue to impress me every single time.

Comfort, performance, and style are all qualities that are incredibly difficult to perfect in a running shoe—but ASICS consistently delivers. 🙌🏽

A huge thank you to ASICS for hosting us and giving us the opportunity to put the NOVABLAST 5 Platinum Series through its paces.

And a special shoutout to @clubakin - always a pleasure hitting the road with the crew, from the OGs to the newcomers. Great energy, great people, great run. 🫶🏽♥️
