Your running journey doesn’t happen overnight. It takes motivation, dedication, consistency, and learning how to balance life around it. Whether that’s early mornings, late nights, or fitting runs into a busy schedule.

Back in 2023, my first run was just over 2.5km. I didn’t know anything about pacing. I wondered why I was breathless, tired, and couldn’t run for very long. Looking back, I was running far too fast for someone just starting their running journey. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a start.

Fast forward to 2025, and I’ve completed a marathon🥇

The difference wasn’t talent. It was showing up, one run at a time, even on the days I didn’t feel like it. Small steps really do add up to big achievements.

If you’re at the beginning of your running journey, keep going. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. The only person you need to be better than is the person you were yesterday.

It’s you vs you. Always!🏃🏻‍♀️💙
