#roadrunning

Road racing takes you to amazing places! Whether you're chasing a PR or soaking in the scenery, there's nothing like running through historic streets with cheering crowds fueling your stride. What's your dream race destination?

What. A. Race. Still on a high after Sunday and the pictures definitely tell the story… from very much in control to a complete mess within a few miles… and I can’t wait to do it all over again #londonmarathon #roadrunning #marathonrunning #runnersofinstagram (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjTd2cKLzu-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fitness Monday Updates ! 🏋🏾🧘🏾🧩 Todays run brings me at my greates distance yet! Last week was hard 😪 I went down with the flu midweek(not Covid ) and felt like doing nooooothing . I managed to sneak in some weightlifting exercises but I had to wait a couple days to feel good enough to run (and not scared to make it worst to be honest !) again . Then a life event hit me like a ton of brick and affected my mental health 🥲 Being aware of how depressed it was making me I decided to go back outside before I was certain to be 100% healthy again. The flu is allowed to slow me down ,depression is not ! Today I ran into circles , talk about mental spaces .. I did a shorter 2k circuit around my house and I thought if I did it twice I’d make 4K … 😒 I was good for it too , I thought I could keep running the last 20 meter but I had already passed twice in front of the this couple sitting at the terrasse … myea no Who knew the hardest part about road running is figuring out a good trail . It’s really hard , the bike lanes in my neighborhood are massive , pedestrians will pedestrate, cars and light have one goal and that IS to slow you down 😂. Fitness for the mental health . You still feel like shit , but now you feel like hotshit #perspective This has been my update ✨ Happy full mercury moon and I wish you to have a purposeful and EASY week 🤍🍃 ✨✨🏷 #fitness#fitnessbloggerfitnessjourney#blackfitness#fitspo#workout#fitnessenthusiast#melaninfitness#healthylifestylet#explorepage#blackrunner#running#instarunner#runnersofinstagram#nrc#nikerunclub#roadrunning#roadrunner#blackhealthmatters#nicotinefree#tobaccofree#noscale#mentalhealth#depressiontips#anxiety#anxietyrelief#homepage https://www.instagram.com/boabroad/p/CY2DfOZghQu/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another step on the long and winding recovery road. 5 sets of 4/1 #runwalk today on the trail behind my house, 2.6 miles total. As usual I walked on the street over to the trailhead (still no #roadrunning, soft surfaces only), then started the sets. Afterwards, some #mcmillanrunteam #prehab #corestrengthtraining. The knee is getting stronger, little by little. It's frustrating that recovery is so slow, but #progressisprogress. I just have to be patient. I also am due back to see the doctor about this after finally getting some scans done yesterday. Hopefully he doesn't make me go back to no running, because I really do think it's close to turning the corner. But we'll see what happens with that. In the meantime, back to the swimming pool tomorrow for some laps and intervals with all the #swimtoys. #runblr #fitblr #injuredrunner #patiencegrasshopper #trailrunning #runningcomeback #mastersrunner #offseasontriathlontraining https://www.instagram.com/p/CIoZCJ_HYDd/?igshid=118a93ieb5u5e

I know there’s better ways to celebrate Halloween than running my first marathon, but tbh, it was worth it.

August is over and my streak of 100+ months hits four. Barely.⁣ ⁣ The month began the same as others but included a photoshoot for my website dedicated to running (link in my bio) with a promising young photog, Amalie (@ams_hindash). Her work is incredible (photo in the top left), and it’s inspiring to see a person just entering her first year of high school take an art like photography so seriously. ⁣ ⁣ Hopefully, someday she becomes a world-renown photojournalist, and I can brag and say, “yeah, she once took photos of me running around a park.” ⁣ ⁣ The temps and my average daily miles dropped mid-month. I decided to take an entire week off from running for two reasons. ⁣ ⁣ First, the kids stayed over from an entire week, and I didn’t have the time to run for an hour each day. We spent the week day-tripping including a drizzly afternoon taking in a few horse races. ⁣ ⁣ I dropped the kids off to their Mom on Sunday and immediately hit the road. I needed 25 miles in a week to break 100 for the month. ⁣ ⁣ I broke up the days of long runs with a few interval workouts with friends and a running group. Shout out to Natalie (@runf.i.t) and her Wednesday night crew kicking my ass in the best way possible. ⁣ ⁣ I needed 10 miles on August 31st. With the help of another running comrade and comfortable weather conditions, I logged in over 10 and hit my monthly goal. ⁣ ⁣ On tap for this month - prepping for a Ragnar in October and my first official half marathon in November. ⁣ ⁣ See ya out there. ⁣ ⁣ — ⁣ ⁣ #runner #fitness #training #runners #running #instarunners #runningmotivation #runningaddict #roadrunning #happyrunning #runningclub #runningman #runninginspiration #runninglife https://www.instagram.com/p/B16yeekgCDQ/?igshid=97hgngwnid8f
