Started running just to lose weight after pregnancy…

Didn’t think it would turn into something I actually enjoy.

Anyone else start like this?

I just found out this app, it’s called Aura, where you can get all these nice templates ❤️🏃🏼‍♀️ and it’s for free! You just need to connect your watch, similar as in Strava.

Try it out and tell me what’s your favorite 😍

Every time I train for a race, I use Garmin Coach. This spring was my first time following its marathon training program.

Overall, I really liked it, but I didn’t follow it 100%. There were quite a few things I adjusted based on how I felt. Sometimes I ran longer long runs than the plan suggested because I believe every marathon training cycle should include at least one 3-hour run. I also often turned steady runs into progressive runs, even when the plan called for an even pace. I think it’s important to teach your body to run fast on tired legs.

What I like most about Garmin Coach is that you always have a structured plan to follow. I’m the kind of person who does exactly what my watch tells me to do. It doesn’t matter if it’s -15°C or pouring rain—if it’s on my schedule, I’m heading out for my run. 😄

Another nice bonus is the strength training. If you’re not a fan of lifting weights, Garmin includes strength workouts that fit into your running plan and complement your training really well.

Did I follow the plan exactly? No.
Did it help me stay consistent and prepared? Absolutely.

I decided to actually start lifting weights to improve my running. 💪🏃

I can’t even count how many times I’ve said, “I need to start lifting weights,” but then somehow I never stick with it. 😅

This time will be different because I’m posting it here to keep myself accountable. Let’s see how much it helps my running progress!

For those of you who also lift, how many times a week do you strength train? I’d love to hear what works for you!❤️🏃🏼‍♀️🏋🏼‍♀️

Looks like the heatwave has finally reached Finland too. ☀️🔥🔥

Luckily, my heart rate didn’t go through the roof, so I just kept running easy. 🏃🏼‍♀️
