running progress!

2024/12/18 Edited to

... Read moreAs a runner, tracking your progress and celebrating milestones can significantly enhance your motivation and joy in the sport. Many runners often struggle with maintaining a consistent pace and overcoming mental barriers, but seeing improvement can be incredibly rewarding. Consider logging every run, paying attention to your pace, and reflecting on the effort you put in. You might also explore interval training, which has been proven to boost speed and endurance effectively. Incorporating cross-training activities, like cycling or strength training, can also contribute positively to your running journey. Furthermore, connecting with a community, either virtually through social media groups or locally through running clubs, can provide encouragement and valuable tips. Running challenges and virtual races may add extra motivation to stay committed to your routine. Remember, every runner's journey is unique, and celebrating even small victories is key to long-term success.

Not all great progress ends in crazy weight loss
This got a lot of hate when I first posted it one of my groups because my progress pic doesn’t end with weight loss… now reposting a year later, it didn’t end at all. When I first posted this a year ago, I posted because I was proud of my bulk, even when I was soo scared of gaining weight.

Have you stopped making progress?😬
Yes, there are rep ranges that are better for different goals/ results… but all of them will eventually STOP working when you use it for too long. Your body will adapt and you will eventually hit a PLATEAU in your progress. On average it takes our bodies 4-6 weeks to fully adapt to a new stim
