So if you need a basic S&C plan that will help you become a stronger cyclist, then this is the plan for you ๐Ÿšด๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ โ€ข Tom has created a bespoke fitness programme that you will need to stick to for a total of ten days; 7 exercises/1-3 rounds dependant on your ability. This will progress each day, so keep an eye out on my stories. I will be trialling this out daily until the 24th - wish me luck! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ โ€ข Who wants me to upload the sweaty sesh on my IGTV?! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I feel so fortunate to have so many great friends around me, as they truly brighten up my day ๐Ÿ˜Š โ€ข I know how hard it can be to talk about emotions in general, so I couldnโ€™t even imagine what it would be like if I was in a position so dark that I couldnโ€™t see a way out ๐Ÿ–ค โ€ข So in light of #worldsuicidepreventionday I want to let anyone know that if they need to reach out to someone, then my DMโ€™s are always open ๐Ÿ’œ โ€ข You are loved, you are wanted & YOU ARE DOING GREAT ๐Ÿ’•

If we are grounded, we will be better in mind, body & soul. It is worth checking in with yourself, making sure that you have the tools to ground you - so that you can feel at one with yourself ๐ŸŒ โ€ข In light of this week, it was good to hear those words & this week is already looking a little more positive ๐Ÿค— โ€ข What are the things that ground you? ๐ŸŒณ โ€ข โ€ข Wearing @boudavida from top to bottom. A fantastic company that not only supports womenโ€™s sports, but they also produce great quality, comfy clothing for all types of action. Kindly #gifted ๐Ÿ’•
๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ RUNNING & MENTAL HEALTH ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผ ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ RUNNING & MENTAL HEALTH ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ Today I got to run my weekly 5km & purposely took it slower than usual to give myself some space to think ๐Ÿง  โ€ข I have recently been up & down with my MH - I havenโ€™t been shy about admitting it, but it is something that I tend to keep to myself ๐Ÿ’ญ โ€ข Most of the time, I feel positive & happy, but then I canโ€™t help those moments where I am in doubt; surrounded by dark clouds โ˜๏ธ โ€ข I am currently go through a lot of change & although I LOVE & embrace change, it can be somewhat stressful ๐Ÿคฏ Since covid, there have been many changes to my daily working life & I think I may be finding it hard to accept, that we do in fact, have a โ€˜new normalโ€™ ๐Ÿ˜ โ€ข Normally I would have dealt with my stress by going out for a slow/long run - but I canโ€™t really do a lot of that at the moment either ๐Ÿ˜ซ โ€ข It reminded me of when I first started running. A time that was so dark... but running helped me to see the light through the end of the tunnel. I didnโ€™t realise at the time that running was saving my sanity, day in, day out ๐Ÿ˜ฏ โ€ข โ€ข It has been a HUGE part of my life for 7 years! So having longer than I expected off with a slow build up has literally done my head in ๐Ÿ˜† โ€ข I didnโ€™t realise that the decline in running would also mean that my MH would be quite so erratic. Not having the thing that I love most to burn off the crazy ๐Ÿ˜ โ€ข I am no where near where I was back then, but it did make me realise how much I do rely on running being a part of my life. Even though I cross train with absolutely anything else, it just isnโ€™t the same (am I right, avid runners?!) ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ โ€ข This is just my space to vent, so I do apologise if this has touched a nerve, but I would love for you to reach out if this is the same for you. Weโ€™re all in this together & although I will wake up happier than Larry tomorrow, I think it wont be 100% the same until I start running more frequently again ๐Ÿ–ค
