Benefits of barefoot running, keeping your mind at peace with the ups and downs of training and weight loss. Focus on the process and the pb’s will follow.
When beginning your running journey there’s so many things to listen to and take into account. I wish I knew more at the start to speed up the process but I was a different mindset back then. There’s no hiding the fact that it’s very hard when you start so maybe the main thing to focus on is just getting it done. How ever bad or hard it is show up every time. Build your endurance and fitness foundation. The rest can be added on in time.
It’s good to stop and be accountable once a week. Make sure the ship is still going in the right direction. Have you gone stagnant or is there more you can do. Go all in on your passion and follow where it leads you. Running changed my life and still is week on week.
“If you don’t stop and look around once in a while you could miss it”. Run while you can, experience as much as you are passionate about. Try things, you never know, that might be your thing. We are here to do more than the mundane chores. Necessary chores but fit living in somewhere. My thing is running so I’m going all in and run!

Convert the new years motivation to start or re-start running in a plan for the year. Move through quitters day and form a healthy habit of running and strength training. Focus on longevity m, we want to run into our 90’s. Nutrition is a big a part of it as any.
A reflection on 2025’s running and what to take into 2026. It shouldn’t be “New year new you” more “New year, be you”. Let yourself through and stop protecting yourself. We can do more than the limits we set ourselves. Start running and begin.
A big thank you for listening, I’m looking forward to next year and seeing how it will help me grow and how it will evolve. Merry Christmas 🎄
Following some well appreciated feedback I start breaking down the running form. If you can start your running journey with good form, you will see the benefits much quicker and reduce risk of injury along the way.
We get inspired by others on our running journey. I briefly run through one particular story so far. I hope it inspires you as much as it has me. Get started and see where it leads you. The world opens up as you go.
Building a solid base fitness is easier than you think. Running in heart rate zone 2 for most of your weekly training will build endurance and your aerobic base. It’s also known as the fat burning zone. This makes it more inviting to start. To slow and easy.
As with life, running has its setbacks. But it also builds you a community of inspiring people. They don’t just want you to PB they will you back from setbacks. We are all in this together and we are certainly getting there.
The Larnaca marathon Cyprus. Definitely one to recommend. I run through my experience of running it along side 4 other runners from the UK. The work we put in daily means we get to do these things.
The build up to the Larnaka marathon in Cyprus. I wanted to share the apprehension and nerves that we create before an event. It’s all in our own minds. We chose to do these things. This is the growth part, putting ourselves out there. I’m going in!
It is all about you. It starts with you. Looking after yourself should come first. You can then be your best self for the people close to you and around you. Treat yourself like you would your own pet. You wouldn’t neglect your pet for weeks at a time. Run for YOUR life. Let’s see where it can take you.
Thanks for listening, episode 10 already. I wanted to touch on the running shoe. As a beginner when I started running I just picked a shoe and went. I have evolved and now have a better understand what is needed for the job. Hopefully this can help you from the start. We are getting there!
Episode 9 - Spread the word, we can run! After the couch to 5k in the last episode I thought I’d carry on so we don’t do the 5k to couch. You now have a good running base fitness. It’s easier to maintain then to start. I talk about a few different ways of keeping going after the challenge has been completed. What can we achieve from here!
Episode 8 - Why not start with a focus, couch to 5k. I give a guide line or 10 week plan for a beginner looking to start running. Once achieved we can work on continuing and not letting the 5k to couch happen. A great way to start and get moving. Hopefully this with lead to a snowball effort.
