For people who don’t want to HATE running

2025/5/14 Edited to

... Read moreRunning doesn't have to feel like punishment; with the right tips and mindset, it can become a fulfilling activity. First, proper warm-up and cool-down are essential for optimizing recovery and performance, as well as preventing injuries. Dynamic stretches like knee hugs, forward lunges, and hip openers can prepare your muscles for the run. Additionally, consider a cool-down routine that includes a gentle walk followed by stretching and foam rolling for muscle recovery. Adhering to a training plan is another key to not hating running. Plans can help you stay consistent, and there are numerous options available online tailored to various fitness levels. Remember, everyone progresses at their own pace, so it's crucial not to compare yourself to others. Focus on your unique journey, and celebrate personal milestones regardless of others’ achievements. Long, slow runs are also vital, as they build endurance without excessive strain. Finding a running buddy or community can further enhance your experience. Engaging with fellow runners can provide motivation and tips that make the process enjoyable rather than a chore. By shifting your mindset and incorporating these strategies, running can transform from a dreaded task into a rewarding habit.

People-pleasing in adulthood 🌸🍋🫶🏼
I don’t think people (therapists included) appreciate how much deeper people-pleasing goes than just simply saying no more often. People pleasing is another nervous system response that is celebrated by others because it benefits them and appears to be something “good” or “nice.” If we want to

How to Get Into Running
My best advice is to start slow and run/walk 2-3 times a week! Slowly decrease your walking amount each time and increase your running amount! I struggled getting my first 2-4 miles but I was going out way too fast so my body got too tired too early. It’s also good to establish goals. Do you want t
