Here are some of the incredible benefits I’ve experienced through running: 🏋️♂️❤️ Physical Health: Running has significantly improved my cardiovascular health, increased my stamina, and helped maintain a healthy weight. The positive impact on my overall fitness is undeniable. 🧠🌈 Mental Well-being: It’s amazing how running can clear the mind. It has become my go-to stress reliever, helping me combat anxiety and depression. The runner’s high is real and it’s a great mood booster! 📅🎯 Discipline and Goal Setting: Training for races has taught me the importance of setting goals and staying disciplined. Each run is a step towards a larger goal, whether it's completing a marathon or just improving my personal best. 🤝👟 Community and Connection: The running community is incredibly supportive and inspiring. I’ve met so many amazing people through group runs, races, and events. The camaraderie and shared passion create lasting friendships. 🌱💪 Personal Growth: Running has pushed me to overcome challenges and persevere through tough times.

How do you “balance” your work-life balance? For me, it’s about finding the right hobby, and one of mine is cycling. Changing activities is a great way to relax your mind and clear your thoughts from the work routine. Interestingly, while cycling, I realized that it’s not just a fun way to spend time, but it also helps me develop some useful personal skills. Teamwork. We plan our rides together, discussing the route, estimated cycling time, how many stops to make, and whether we should grab noodles along the way 😊. Regardless of the group size, we look out for each other, providing support whenever needed. During long-distance rides, when you are almost ready to give up, encouraging words of your teammate can do magic: “If I can do it, we can do it together” Strategic Thinking & Planning. Some rides are just for fun, while others require serious preparation and planning. For long-distance rides, having a strategy is essential to ensure you complete them successfully. This could mean endurance training beforehand, calculating calorie intake and average speed, analyzing the route, planning possible stops, and more. Just like with work projects, having the right strategy and proper planning leads to better results. Responsibility. When riding in a peloton, you are responsible not only for yourself but also for the riders in front of and behind you. Staying focused is crucial to avoid causing dangerous situations on the road that could lead to accidents. As an added bonus, cycling is a great way to network. Meeting like-minded people from various industries and countries and sharing experiences together is truly priceless. #WorkLifeBalance #CyclingLife #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #NetworkingOpportunities #PersonalDevelopment #StayMotivated

5 Benefits Of Trail Running Part 1 1. Kinder to your muscles and joints The terrain will be much softer than pounding along in the same repetitive motion on concrete. Suffering from sore knees on road runs? I know the feeling, shift your runs to the trails where there is far less impact. With the constant twisting and turning alongside the softer terrain your joints and muscles will love you for it. 2. Your brain gets a full workout There's no time to switch off on the trails, especially on the more technical terrain, you will have to navigate around roots, and rocks, and concentrate on the task at hand. You will be in the moment, feel very much alive and it will give your brain a real boost. 3. Builds powerful legs Regular trail running will strengthen your legs, you will be using muscles that hardly get used. Your legs will get a great workout from running the hilly terrain and eventually, your flat running will become a lot easier. 4. You feel like you`ve been on a mini adventure. Muddy forests, tough climbs that lead to stunning views, wild animals, the list is endless. There will probably be places right on your doorstep that you never knew existed. Get out on the trails and explore, every run can seem like your very own mini adventure. 5. Great for your mental health. If you are feeling a bit down and depressed at times then there is no better feeling than going out running in the great outdoors. The green spaces, the clean air, the countryside, the animals, the views and so much more alongside the endorphins released from running will boost your mood and mental health. Explore trails nearby where you live and experience some of the great benefits trail running offers. You can thank me for it later 😀 #trailrunning #trailrunner #miniadventure #trailrunningbenefits #running #fellrunning #cardiffrunning

If I could go back in time...🕰️ Happy Global Running Day! 🌍🏃♂️ Today is a perfect occasion to reflect on some key lessons I've learned from over 15 years of running & share the advice I would give my beginner self from all those years ago: 🔑 Consistency is key. Putting in the work week after week, month after month, is crucial. There are no shortcuts. 💪 Strength training is effective & beneficial for runners. Do it. 🛌 Intense training combined with poor sleep rarely ends well. Prioritize getting enough rest. 🔊 Listen to your body.
