Hello everyone, I hope everyone is staying well. I can't quite believe that this is my 6th blog post as a MedalMad Ambassador! This last month seems to have flown by for me since being back at work. What I also can't believe is that I've now hit 7 months of being a "runner"! Before Christmas I would never have even considered running but now here I am even thinking about the possibilities of a running commute when I start my new job towards the end of the year.
Today I thought I'd share with you some of the things I've learnt and achieved on my running journey since the start of the year.
As with many people my running journey begun with Couch to 5K in January. I really enjoyed this programme and it was really great to see improvement in my fitness and the satisfaction of completing Couch to 5K was immense. A few weeks into my Couch to 5K journey I signed up for the 2020 Great North Run (which has now unfortunately been cancelled) and I set my sights on my first half marathon.
Following the completion of the Couch to 5K programme I straight away begun my 10K training where I was due to run the Vitality London 10K in May, however like many other races this year, that too got cancelled. That said, I still decided to head towards my 10K target. Then at the end of May I officially started my half marathon training with the aim of completing my first virtual half marathon in September (even though the Great North Run isn't going ahead this year).
At times it really hasn't been easy, especially when sometimes I can't help but feel like I took up running at the wrong time, but I've really enjoyed my running journey to date.
So what have I learnt so far on my running journey?
How is everyone else's running journeys going? What things have you learnt on your running journey?
