I miss running!!

i ran cross country my Junior year and track my sophomore and junior year. I wanted to run senior year but i moved super far and wasn’t able to make xc practice. That made me lose ALL motivation i had to run. I did try to continue running during track season but got sick and lost all progress.

I know there were definitely ways for me to still run on my own but part of my motivation was my team and coaches. Now that i am out of HS i’m not sure how to get that motivation back. I mostly need the accountability to push myself again. Hopefully tomorrow i can wake up early and get myself back out there. I know it won’t be much but i do need to start again.

And honestly… i really miss the way my body was when i would workout I was slim, toned and I felt so good I was soo happy. I know i’m slim now but I had a butt and since i stopped its GONE😭😭.

... Read moreRunning is not just a physical activity; it's a mental one too. Many former athletes face challenges in maintaining their drive after high school. Establishing a routine is crucial. Setting small, achievable goals can help rekindle that excitement and accountability. Joining local running groups can also provide camaraderie and encouragement, enhancing your motivation. Additionally, incorporating cross-training activities such as cycling or swimming can maintain your fitness level and prevent burnout. Remember, each run counts, regardless of the distance. Celebrate your progress, and gradually you’ll regain that joyful feeling associated with running. Always remember: consistency is key to transforming your fitness mindset—one step at a time!

My entire life, I have never considered myself much of a person who enjoyed running. I was a dancer in high school, and we never ran more than a mile or two at practice, and when we did, I didn't like it. But, coming to college, I randomly took an interest in running and wanted to use it as bot

How to get into RUNNING 🏃🏽‍♀️💨
I would NOT have considered myself a runner earlier this year. I've always enjoyed sprinting but long distance running was never my thing or something I was good at. But I decided to sign up for a 10 mile race in the summer to challenge myself and by surprise I slowly began to love running!!

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
