Running Scared

I want to make fitness and health content that makes people say, "I could do that!" with zero condescension or fake positivity.
I've never been fit or healthy in my life and I changed for my family in August 24.

I've been making content for over 5 years now (between gaming and running) and it's had more downs than ups but I've learned so much along the way. I'm planning to start up a YouTube Channel in February and start to make more of the content I'd like to see from a new(ish) runner. I'm excited

I got to a really cool camera recently and finally was able to use it for a race. I'll be editing the footage this week to release soon!

There is a lot of uncertainty in my head right now. My fitness after my chest infection, my ability to run this half marathon on Saturday and I was offered a job I've been working towards the last 8 years a week ago. I accepted it and start in a week. And so close to Christmas too is a nightmare 😫

Today I felt somewhat normal again. Thankfully so as it was my birthday and I got to enjoy the day with my soon to be wife, my daughter and my mam. I'm not going to lie, feeling sick for 3 weeks and my training falling apart has had me struggling within myself but today has fixed that.

Been to the Doctors today and they confirmed my suspension of a chest infection 🙃. No work or training for the rest of the week...
This half marathon training block has been a nightmare. I'll be lucky to start it, let alone finish it at this rate... #running ##runningjourney #runna

You can not appreciate the value of winning without experiencing a painful defeat.
Your goals, your aspirations, your legacy, can only be achieved through failure and trying again.

My Fiancée just signed up for a 10km with me in April 🫠 she has only started running in the last 10 weeks! I'm so excited 🤯 I'm going to have to play it cool so she doesn't feel pressured to keep going 😅

Of course, hours before my 5km PB attempt, I'm starting to feel a flu coming my way 😬 my heartrate is up, and my lungs feel tight...definitely not good signs but I'm going to try regardless 💪🏻😎

This Saturday, I'm attempting to hit a new PB of 24:59 for a 5km.
I have been training hard for this but have also taken some breaks in my training for social reasons. I know I'm close to being able to do it, but whether it's Saturday or next month, I have no idea. Wish me luck. #runna #running

This time last year I was finishing up my first Runna running plan with the goal to hit a 35 min 5km. I failed and got 37 mins. 2 weeks later I smashed it. I'm pushing for sub 25 min now. I ran a 5km race and finished 24:31. But the race was 100m short of 5km so i didn't count. Give me 2 weeks 😏

I was planning on trying to run a sub 30 min 5km while pushing the buggy today but i don't think it's going to be possible in the rain 😅

When I she says "I've been thinking" i know I'm about to be busy in the very near future. But when i say it, she knows... I'm about to tell her my next mad idea OR I've just finished overthinking something and I have a solution.
Either way, I'm spending 30 mins explaining it in detail.

I'll be honest. I think I'm on a good path. I have a lot of work to do, but it feels right.

I have my first ever 10 Mile race on Saturday morning. It will be the longest race I've ever done, so I'm nervous!
My running plan says I'm to rest until Saturday, but I can't just sit here and do nothing 🤣.
So I'll do 7.5km tomorrow easy run...

I'm not a nutritionist. I just have good meal ideas for those struggling for lunch ideas that are tasty and don't cost you a fortune.

Got convinced to finally do a local Park Run today. My Fiancée has started running this week and wanted to do it, so I was happy to support her. I took our daughter in her buggy and think i did a solid time!

I have been working hard on running slower and building that discipline. It's about stripping back my ego about speed. It's not zone 2 yet but it's starting to work #running #runna #runningjourney #fitnessforrealpeople #overweightrunner #realrunner #relatablefitness #runningafter30 #runningirish

10km "easy run" completed 😅 i think the 5km unplanned run with my daughter yesterday had my legs exhausted.
Another run in the bag 💪🏻

15km long run today. I wanted to keep it slow and steady to avoid a risk of injury. Very happy.
Bumped into a friend and had to chat for a bit and then got some qater at the 12km mark. Paused for both and got back to it.
