Notes about this video:
One thing I didn't mention in this video is my VO2 max (the amount of oxygen my body can uptake during exercise, I think) increased from 48 to 49. Only a one-digit increase but a great one all the same.
I still do 3 runs per week and continue to enjoy the benefits of this challenge - I just put my trainers on and head out the door rather than putting it off.
This challenge really did help me fall in love with running again.
Great!
It start like scientific experiment but end to having fun hobby.
What is "metabolic age" and how did you measure it?
Vo2 max 49 , that is fantastic.
Measurements?? Forgotten...?
I wanted to cry when she talked about how being able to run like that is a privilege. All too often we forget that fact. Thank you for the wonderful bit of inspiration.
Thank you Stephanie, Each time I see a comment about it, it reminds me 🙏🏼
I love your outlook. Bravo.
Okay okay I
i would really love to run too!!! but I live in the city .. no space no.. .sigh
I had a bad hip injury which led to not being able to run at all for nearly a year. Honestly when I finally got back to running it was one of the greatest feelings. Our health should be cherished.
"its a privilege" this should be your trademark - what an amazingly humble person you are Laura - I could listen to you all day!!
Yes it is a privilege. I used to run and I want to run again but my ankles are buggered so I can’t.
Every single step I can run is a gift. That's what I tell myself when motivation is not that perfect, RUNNING is really a privilege.
These words 🙌🏼
That's a great outlook. I'm trying to get back on the horse after 2-3 years of heath (cardiac) issues. After experiencing not being able to walk up the stairs, I want to be someone who can run again. So what if I'm not 16 anymore and it is a longer fitness curve: Having the capability is a blessing!
P.s. I'm pretty slow and have horrible stamina (😥) but I know I can work back to running fitness if I just make myself get out there. Now that I've been medically cleared, I know it will feel so amazing eventually to be in shape again
I did 5k 366 days in a row last year (it was a leap year]. During this time we had the pandemic and my dad passed away honestly say if It wasn’t for the running I would have really struggled mentally to process everything. Last year I never got sick or got injured. This year I have not done much running and so far I picked up every cold and bug going except COVID. I have had more injuries this year and struggled more mentally. Safe to say I will be returning to running everyday.
Congratulations on your running. thank you for sharing your experience for others to read 🙌🏼
If you aren't able to run, please walk
‘When I really don’t want to run is when I really need to run’. Completely agreed! I wrote down the similar sentence in my daily schedule ‘What you don’t feel like doing is what you really need to do’. 💪💪
Honestly, when I clicked on this video I expected this to be one of those unreachable, preachy, YT fitness videos that make you feel worse instead of feeling better.. instead I feel so empowered and motivated that the end nearly brought me to tears. You seem like such a genuine soul and this is real, relatable, quality content. Thank you for sharing this video! Love to you!
Hey Leanne, thanks for the lovely comment.
The first big did make me chuckle.
I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Perfect performance. The reason you may have been slower on the last day is that you were simply tired. 30 days in a row of running is a lot. You need time to recover, so not run every day. Muscle repairs during rest days and only then gets stronger. Amazing effort.
The point you make about being grateful is really important. I'm just getting back into running and I sometimes feel frustrated that my fitness has dropped so much since I was previously into it. I have to remind myself that many many people can only dream of what I take for granted.
Snap!!!!
I have to say that this video was very refreshing from all the other running content on youtube. Rather then focusing on the stats and how much you improved in running over the month, I thank you for focusing more on how it made you feel and the benifits you found from it. I find that so much fitness/ running content can be very data driven and this video just had your love of running come through it
Hey Sophia, I am so pleased that came through, as many people in the comments focused on how I could improve my time - 6 months after finishing this challenge I am still not bothered about time and still have the love for running.
Loved this! I'm on day 23 of a "100km in August" challenge, and I've completed 92km. I mostly walked it, but did some runs too. Looking forward to completing it and measuring the results.
This is AWESOME!! Congratulations! what an achievement 🙌🏼
Humbling to hear you acknowledge your privilege at the end. Really enjoyed watching your journey, very motivating 😊
I love that you are honest and a normal person who does not make challenging things look easy, they are challenging but doable!. Thanks for all the data you collect and share. I love data :) Also I appreciated the "privilege" part you mentioned at the last part, is nice to hear that acknowledgement :)
Oh my, I really love data, there was actually more but I didn't want the video to be too long 😆
Thanks for commenting 🙏🏼
RESPECT , HARDEST THING IS TAKING THE FIRST STEP OUT THE DOOR
Don't you know it 👊
"When I don't want to run, I NEED TO RUN!" that's going to be my new mantra. Thanks for the inspiration. Well done you :-)
and you know what.... this was exactly me this morning!
Thanks for the comment 👊
I GET to run.
Thank you for taking us along your village tour! You have beautiful sunrises! And hope your 🎥 is waterproof 😂 🏃♀ 👍 ❤
What a competitive spirit you have, staying true to your promise to yourself despite the challenges! Love your channel, really inspiring!
Well done Laura! I’m still learning to run and so far I’ve got to 3.5k ish non stop. Need to go today and it’s rainy and cold so this is great motivation. Thank you.
Congratulations on becoming a runner! This is great news!
Go out and get it done, then you can revel in your success all day 👑👊🏼
"I Put on my fancy running kit, and my trainers. I have a fit and healthy body with enough fuel and a safe neighborhood to go running, What a Privilege".
That is gratitude right there and an inspiration for me.
Thank you and keep safe.
-Love from the Philippines
Thank you Kenneth 🙌🏼 🌟
I love how honest you are with your time! well done you!
Hey Richard, thanks.
I'll admit I was disappointed but it was a lot to expect that it would drastically improve I suppose.
When I lost 100 lbs, my alarm clock trigger a habit of lacing up and walking 20k steps on my treadmill. Doing the work before I woke up prevented my mind from talking me into procrastinating. I believe it's very important to bypass my brain by setting up unthinking habits that took me in the right direction.
Congratulations - that’s a great achievement.
What an achievement! Are you managing to keep most of it off? How many times a week did you do your 20k steps? That’s a real show of mental and physical discipline.
@@edwardpittar648 I've gotten slack and let 30 pounds come back. Nevertheless, I am now trying to maintain a schedule of 120 mins walking / 30+ mins running on even/odd days. I started ignoring weight when I went chasing after a sub 30 minute PR in a 5k race. I hit it this summer and need to pivot again to weight control. When I was really intense about weight loss I didn't run at all, but walked 20k+ every day.
This has inspired me to sort myself out, i had already come across the other 5k video u mentioned but then fell onto this video, I have now done a 5k on monday, wednesday, today I have done a 12k bike ride at a constant speed of 15mph, tomorrow i am at the gym and then saturday i am going circut training, it may not be a 5k everyday but its a start. THANK YOU
Wow Phil - what a comment! This is really great news and I am so happy for you 👊
Keep up the great work and most of all, enjoy it 😀
What you said about running has resonated with my own thoughts. It’s really hard to get started but feels so good when done. Running always makes me feel better and I truly believe has helped me stave off illness. Have had one mild cold in three years, no flu, and avoided covid(while working a covid unit without proper PPE). I’m a lot slower than you (average 12 min mile) but also 16 yrs older than you. Speed is not my objective but that I’m out there getting my heart rate up. Thanks for the motivation.
This comment is everything.
Awesome Jeff, thank you 👊
Congratulations, Laura! I'm on day 10 of a 30 day challenge and loving it (most days). One benefit I didn't anticipate is that it's very difficult to end your day and feel it was wasted as long as you accomplished the run! Another benefit is that I am finding better regularity in other activities and normal chores. I may continue running daily after this challenge, but perhaps not a 5K everyday. We'll see.
I love this comment so much Jeff! I experienced similar things also. Thank you so much for writing it in here.
It was more than just a run for me, and it seems that way for you also.
I love the honesty and sincerity of your videos. You show the ups and downs of training as they really happen to you instead of trying to edit out the messiness of life and self improvement. Kudos!
You're such an inspiration, I love how real you are, it makes accomplishing the challenge a realistic goal. Thank you Laura and God bless. 😊
Thank you Lebo 🙏🏼
Good challenge! I recently walked 3 miles for 30 days in a row. I called it the 3 for 30 challenge. (Unfortunately I can’t really run with some genetic heart issues I have)
what a great challenge. Extremely similar to this one.
What benefits and lessons did you get?
@@LauraTryUK honestly I didn’t notice any physical benefits. Actually my heart acted up more than normal during that time period. Which was discouraging. But mentally I loved it. I told myself I was going to keep doing it. I didn’t. 🤷♂️ I was hopind to complete a 30 mile one day challenge not long after. Walking across the county I live in. But I haven’t attempted that yet. I’m slacking!
Respect!
whats your heart condition? i have wolff parkingson white
@@beatsmandez828 I have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and permanent atrial fibrillation
Thanks Laura, I’m currently on day 25 of 31 runs every day challenge in a month, totally agree with you on the mindset benefits and enjoyment of doing it. Well done.
Oh wow, that's awesome. You're on day 29 now? How's it going???
@@LauraTryUK going great, I aimed to do 100km in a month so been doing the same 3.2km loop every day, with one walk day and 2 10km loops.
I now love and hate that run! 😂 looking forward to finishing it, but also wanna keep going. It’s mad how it gets you.
This is the right answer - not "respect" or "I am loving you "
Brilliant , 25 minutes is fantastic, I’m really looking forward to 5km park run starting again at the end of the month , you have a really good level of base fitness .
Hey Norm, thank you for your comment. I also look forward to parkrun starting again. A fantastic organisation for so many people 🙌🏼
I'm seeing this video later than most but thank you for posting. I too, have not done as much running as I used to and I must admit I miss it. You're inspirational because you're real and honest about the challenges - mentally and physically, weather related etc. so congratulations for completing your challenge!
Great video and well done!! 🎉👏
Love this! I did 5k every day for 119 days during lockdown! I’m inspired by your 30 day yoga challenge!
wow, that an achievement! congratulations!
Do try the 30 days of yoga - that is one of my favourites challenges so far. A really really nice one.
This video was soooo relatable, entertaining, cheerful, motivating, inspiring, well made, exuding a calm and lovable and humble energy, you are so sweet and i feel like you picked the perfect approach, by keeping it varied, combining low- and high effort days and integrating it into your transportation mix!
"cant make yourself like something that you don't want to like - but if you do wanna like it and you want to get better at it then its really important to do it frequently"... applies to me today in a more than one aspect of my life, thank you - i needed to hear that!
I pleased you liked that bit Emily, I hope it's continuing to help you. I say these things mostly for myself you know 😂
You’re really putting yourself on the line.
Good job!
I seem to always find your videos when I get down and need the motivation. Like this. Psychedelic. Depression. Barefoot 🦶. Keep up the great content
great video, loved it. Awesome sense of humour you've got there and I also respect your honesty. And the fact you did that through a British winter deserves extra KUDOS! I used to love running too and did it almost every day, but work, life and family kind of gets in the way. Thanks for posting.
Hey Mike, thanks for the lovely comment.
Yeah, it's hard to lose the running mojo when other stuff gets in the way.
You can find it again though 👊
What a great video, a honest, humbling and inspirational vid all in one....thank you!
Thank you for the honest assessment. It's so on point.. we spend so much time with the negative internal chatter.. we need to get out of our head and enjoy the simplicity of moving.
Loving your videos Laura. Keep them coming. Your a great inspiration to us all 😊
This is such a nice comment, thank you Mark 🙌🏼
Pleasure Laura 😊
Day 11 looked like a lovely walk! I love milder winter days with next to no breeze, big flakes, and quiet. Very magical and calming. ☺
i think this video was a sign. I need to get back into it. find that passion that just one day disappeared. I fucking love your videos. Great editing, and always a good smile. running Was never about the physical for me. It was always about discovering the barriers in my mind that i didn't even realize were there.
Running is really changing my life.
I run 6k a day, but not at once.
I run 3k in the morning, then 3k at night
Watching this to motivate me to run. 💕 I love every aspect of this video-the vibe and everything. 🥺
The gratitude you share about life and your capacity to "live" is very refreshing and motivating, thank you.
U r fast Laura! It took me longer 35mins to do 5km!
I started running in January myself. I do 3 run a week. My pace s slow but I'm good at endurance. The most I ve done 13km but I'm not planning to do any marathon, just running to keep healthy and fit. X
Great work for starting running 💥💥💥
I love your reason for running too!
Laura, you are the first person who is really inspiring me. After watching some of your videos I started to move more and I exercise everyday. I love the wisdom you share -like what you want to like, you have to do frequently and you will like it - just get on with it, because it is easier to do it than listen to the mental chatter after and so on. You helped tremendously during the last few months and I thank you for it. Congratulation on 100 K subscriber!
Great comments at the end and of course the effort of doing & sharing the challenge.
Running is a mental fight, once you push through it you awesome
I hear ya 🙌🏼
Amen.
@@LauraTryUK I will ran my own 5 km tomorrow and keep up the good work 💪
I always feel the same about running 😅 Never feel like doing it, but always happy I did it...that's why I do it everyday. Loved the day 30 montage! Subbing too 😆
Appreciating the comments and the sub 👊
Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am to be fit and healthy, you are an inspiration.
Thank you Steve 🙏🏼
Thank you for this. I was a very keen runner but changes in lifestyle, work and other things have meant I’ve neglected it. Also I had some running goals I wanted to do in terms of events and a ticked them all off and lost my motivation. Trying to get back into it at the moment but needing to find different reasons to run. I need to remember to run because I love it. Great video.
I'm actually really surprised by the small changes in body weight and body fat.
I expected much more, but it just goes to prove that lifting weights is the best way to lose weight and gain muscle.
Well done though, I really need to get back to working out and this video was a good source of inspiration 👍
Just found your Channel and can't stop watching your videos... You are so awesome and love your motivation to motivate others... I am in absolute awe of you right now :-)
This is such a nice comment, thank you so much 🙏🏼
So motivating!! Ive started running again and just did 5k for the first time in ages....and not because I should but because I genuinely enjoy it! Im in my mid 30s and although I like sports, Ive never really pushed myself too much in my life...but as Im getting older, I´m getting more curious to see what my body can do. I´m about 10 minutes slower than you are but my other goal is to stop comparing myself. So right now Im just celebrating having done 5 k in the pouring rain! :D
We need more honest journey videos like this!!
Thank you for letting us come along with you!!
Thank you for the nice comment Punk 🙏🏼
I watch these for your sense of self-deprecating humor. It’s more motivating to see a regular person getting results struggling to meet a goal than to watch all the “look at me and my transformation” stuff.
You are a WINNER & an inspiration!!! Thank you! 😊
Awesome video with a beautiful message at the end. Truly inspiring!
What a fantastic concept your channel is. A fantastic concept with life. I take my hat off to you Laura.
I agree about that nagging feeling in the back of your head that keeps pestering you to do the thing you said you were going to do. Sometimes just wanting to shut that voice up is all the motivation you need to get the stuff done. Great video! I can't say I'll try running a 5K every day but this has inspired me to try to go for a walk every day.
Laura brilliant stuff on your channel, I just turned fifty this year and have just started to get back into running. Thanks for the motivation to get out the door.
Hey Darren, thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.
As you said, the time will pass anyway...might as well do something good for yourself. Great job pushing yourself, and showing up every day!! You are an inspiration!
Thank you for your honesty. There are many things I should do and the feeling beforehand is “I don’t want to “ I know I feel better when I have done it so will keep your words in mind next time. It really is a privilege so I’m grateful every day for my abilities. Your videos are inspiring! 👍🏼
Thank you! I’ve been running for 18 years and I still have days where I just don’t want to. But 99% of the I do. I’m coming off an injury which stopped me from running for 4 months. So to be able to run at least 2 miles pain free in a safe place is a privilege! Running is truly a love hate relationship. Nothing makes you feel the way you do after a run….amazing☺️
You are adorable, humble, unpretentious, and supremely watchable. I got a treadmill this year because health and life issues make getting outside for walks just an unrealistic goal that never happened. I started using it and really started to love it, but again, health issues keep getting in the way and I can't seem to get more than a few days in without having to take a week's pause. Today, after not doing it for five days, I am sitting here trying to get inspired to hop on again. This video has done it for me. Signing off and getting on that treadmill. Thank you so much!!
(and by the way, 5k takes me about 50 minutes so I am super impressed and see nothing but absolute success in your times!)
Hey Denise, thank you for your comment.
I hope you have been able to keep the treadmill up and I am sending all my best health vibes to you 💫
I've recently (moments ago), watched you for the first time "7 DAY FAST for cell repair (AMAZING results!)," and was really impressed. I'm now on my second video of yours. Good luck to me as I get motivated by you.
Hey Michael, thank you for watching my videos and for your comment 🙏🏼
Hey, those are exactly the same videos I saw in that order this week! TH-cam must be doing some algorithm magic :)
me too! ha!
@@misserees @actraiser123 I think you both are right. BTW, I did a 19.5 hour fast and a 23 hour fast and I felt great.
i most likely won't write anything new cause so many people have already written such warm, supportive and gratful comments. I just want to thank you as well, Laura and support your video with one more comment. You are the only one who inspired me to wake up early and you keep inspiring thousands of people around the world. that means a lot! thank you so much! i wish you the best!
Brilliant 🤩 I started walking at 6am on the 17th of September 21 , some interval running included. 4 weeks flew by , now I’m doing 3 days walking with callisthenics the others , rest on weekends. Healthier eating I’m down 1.5 Stone . As a man of 45 I’d hit a lethargic time of inactivity. I needed a change and walking is the perfect tool to kickstart yourself. Great video and greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
This is awesome, thanks so much for sharing. Super cool you got healthier from a few changes 💪
Brilliant. That area looks beautiful. Sitting on my bum enjoying watching someone else confront their internal negative dialogue. +++ "As per the usual, I've come back feeling pretty good considering how rough I was feeling when I went out." I gave up my daily miles years ago focusing too much on the negative. Hearing you work through it reaffirms the need to re-embrace the daily struggle. You may get me off my arse yet.
Hey Sandy, thanks for commenting.
I hope you got out for a run or walk in the end 😀
Really enjoyed your video. You’ve inspired me. I love the way you are real in expressing your thoughts and feelings!
Enjoy everday you can run , I have a duff knee and can no longer. I cycle more now but miss the thrill of running, just putting your kit on and going for a blast...
Thanks for such an honest video. It's heartening that you weren't feeling it before each run for most of the challenge, reminds me to stop making excuses and just get out there.
Probably 70%+ of my runs I didn't feel enthusiastic about, always came back feeling great!
@@LauraTryUK oh wow, that proves the point that it's about making habits vs motivation!
This is fantastic - I love that you changed up the type of run within the 5K parameters. Keeps it interesting! 😀
Thank you, that seemed to work well.
I have exactly the thoughts you describe before pretty much every training run or ride. I cannot remember ever finishing a session and thinking "well I wish I hadn't done that". I'm always chuffed I did it and feel better for it. And yet I STILL struggle to make myself start! I can't count the amount of times I've planned to get up early for a pre-work run or ride, and so many times I just turn the alarm off and get that extra hour. And I never feel good doing that. Brains are annoying....
I do however commute by either running, or cycling every single work day. I've made that an absolute must. I feel so lucky to be able to live somewhere, and work somewhere, that means I can do that every single day. And it does my mental health wonders. It's just 25minutes, so rain snow or horrible wind, I can still do that for 25minutes each way.
How beautiful! The end showing the sky and noting the privilege of being able to do this was wonderful.
This is so inspiring. I’ve been in the same place mentally and emotionally. It’s a relief to see that even 2 weeks in you still don’t want to go.
I still get the feeling now 😂 but doing this challenge is still helping me get out the door.
Laura, you beast! I love all the challenges you submit yourself to. Great videos. Happy to spend 15min of my time watching it all, which days a lot for someone with ADHD. 😉
I do however have a tip for upcoming 30 day challenges: wait 4 days after the challenge has ended before you do your results tests.
I always overdo it when I start training, get super depressed about not improving my speed or strength. Then at some point have to take 3 days of because of work, my own illness or sick kids, holidays or whatever... Then when I go back to the exercise thinking I'll be all weak I'm stronger than ever!!! Do NOT underestimate the power of rest. Especially before a max test / race. Sooo curious what you time would have been if you'd rested for some days. Both for the 5km and the max rep pushups.
Hey Anna-Lee, it is so great to see you here 😍 thank you so much for commenting, and also for watching the whole video!
Your advice has been taken on board, thank you.
For this challenge, I did do a little taper. And for the push-ups I took 2.5 days off before the re-test.
and since then have done a max 5k and max push-ups but with no significant difference. 30 days isn't enough and for someone who is endurance rather than strength/speed (I'm high in slow-twitch muscle fibres).
But the challenges did help me find some love for the exercises.
It’s about positive energy. You share it. What we can do with it is on us but again it’s truly on me. Thank you
Look, Im younger, I dont fight with motivation, I run for 3 years, from spring to autumn, but I got under 30:00 only once. But my route includes a hill. So yours 25:something is brilliant.
Of COURSE it was a success!! Good for you!!
Watched this one several times for tips and amusing to see you go through the same uos and downs the rest of us go through.....I dont want to do it or I dont feel like the gym today. We all have this internal chat or guilt but we have to push through it. Thanks for
I was a keen runner when I was younger but as I got older I stopped you have give me inspiration to start again thank you 🙏❤♥
Hey Mark, I am pleased to hear this. I hope you managed to get out for a run.
Laura, you are a real gem! What a fun and well put together video 👍🏼 You have truely inspired me, I’m going to walk the 5km each day! I’ll be thinking of you and thanking my blessings as well! Big hello from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you for your lovely comment Anna 🙏🏼
Big hello from the UK 🇬🇧
Completed my 5km/day for 30 days ✔️
I walked and it’s been marvellous for my state of mental health, the endorphins definitely kicked in and I’ve started a new healthy habit now, thanks to you Laura 💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕
Great job !
I am so glad I found this. Just what I needed ❤️
I am definitely going to do this challenge, I will start today and report back in 30 days! I really appreciate your honesty and not trying to over hype things like I have seen elsewhere on TH-cam. I also think it is very important to be cognizant of the fact you mentioned about being able to do this in a safe neighborhood, I think a lot of people forget this fact. Thank you for the motivation and inspiration! Take care and keep making awesome videos!
Hey, thank you for the nice comment.
Did you start the challenge? I look forward to hearing how it goes 💪
Great video, Well done! Cheers from the U.S.
I loooved this! New subscriber here! Thanks for the inspiration. I started running a couple of months ago and this weekend I’ve been putting off my run because of the rain and cold - big reality check seeing you getting it done in the rain and snow 😂❤️
Hey Erin, it's great to have you here 👋
Are you UK too?
@@LauraTryUK Australia! Melbourne ☺️
this video was truly inspiring, your personality and attitude are so admirable! btw I love your necklaces, co cute!
Thanks for sharing Laura. As a former endurance athlete in the same age range and similar “has-been” mental state I can relate. I look forward to reigniting my love affair with running again!
I do hope you find your love for running again. I suppose it's like any relationship - ebbs and flows 😀
Wow.. This is literally inspiring. Thank you for sharing your experience! 🎉
You have a gift of expressing your emotions, I can put off running the whole day.
OMGoodness you achieved so much in such a short time! Hello you ran 5km 29 times out of 30!! That is amazing! We are in lockdown in Sydney Australia and I have been walking everyday so far (apart from after the vaccine). Sometimes 10 mins sometimes 60. I used to run but you have inspired me, perhaps I could include a little run in between the walking! Thankyou. You rock
Hey Sophie, I am so pleased you liked this video.
Your walk/run idea sounds like a really great one. No pressure to run far, just enjoy it.
Sending love from the UK to Australia 👋
IDK why this video popped in my feed. I was going to skip my walk this morning but this gave me the motivation that I needed. Thanks 😊
Hey, I am so pleased you enjoyed this. I hope you enjoyed your walk and got all the benefits 💫
Brilliant work, and so inspiring, thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I really liked how you kept highlighting how much better you feel at the end of running, verses before it; you’ve inspired me to start rating my mindset/ energy levels etc before and after, to try and recondition my overthinking ‘I don’t want to do it’ mindset!
You are a great motivator! Thanks for honesty about day 12! 😅
ahaha, thank you. #reallife
This is so great honestly to see how you felt. I always thought I'm just not made for a healthy lifestyle because exactly like you said, despite the obvious benefits and good feeling from it I sometimes really struggle to get going. But to see that it's just what it's like for everyone give me motivation to just accept that feeling and the need to overcome it. I think it's the body just naturally seeking "comfort", but it's not really comfort and ends up as the cause for the unhealthy, passive, western lifestyle. It felt to me (and society tells me that..) that it wasn't right to "push" myself to sport and I should just "rest" (i.e. be inactive) when I don't feel like it, but now I think it's just natural to have that resistance for a bit. Thank you so much for being open and not just another "yay this is so awesome" motivational talk, and being open and also very specific about how it felt :)
Hey there, thank you for taking the time to write this comment.
I agree with the body always trying to seek comfort.
I am pleased you found value in this video. By you expressing this it helps reinforce the lessons for me 🙌🏼
Inspired by watching this clip again, I did the 5km everyday last month (it's been a very cold winter in Canberra Aus) as a way of motivating myself to get out the door and into fresh air everyday. It worked, with me only missing two days, so thanks :) I hope all is well with you xx
You have made me want to get back into running! Great video!
