From “borrowing” your friend’s dog to treating yourself, these tips are guaranteed to work.
When it comes to exercise, I’ll pick running over any other sport.
There’s something about grabbing a water bottle, lacing up your running shoes and heading out into nature that you just can’t get inside a sweaty gym. Especially not while you’re binge-watching TV on a treadmill.
Whether you’re a marathon runner, a social runner or somewhere in between, it’s a sport that absolutely anyone can do. Seriously – you don’t need natural athletic ability or a great throwing arm (thank God). It’s the easiest sport and, in my opinion, the most fun.
I was never great at cricket or soccer (or anything else that required real ability) but I’ve been a runner for most of my life. From competing when I was in high school to jogging because I felt like it or doing laps just to get outside, it was always my go-to activity when I was bored.
Just as an FYI, you should know that this post is sponsored by The Athlete’s Foot. But all opinions expressed by the author are 100% authentic and written in their own words.
But in between a busy career and settling into life in a new state, running dropped further and further down on my list of Things I Really Need To Do.
So when I do tick it off my list, I use these tips to help me fall back in love with running.
1. Make a really great playlist to run to.
I always make a running playlist filled with my favourite songs. It’s an easy way to get yourself pumped up before working out. Whether it’s a great album you just bought or some catchy classics, you can immerse yourself in the music and just forget everything else around you.
