30 mins run

I have just run for 30 minutes, and I can’t remember the last time I did this.

Over the last 3 weeks I have started to run at 6.30am on my treadmill, I used to run after work, but my motivation was lacking later in the day, so I think I’ve found the best time for me, and I am enjoying it so much, the time flies when I’m listening to my music on my headphones and I managed over 3.4k

I work from home and it sets me up for the day 🏃‍♀️‍➡️😊

That’s absolutely brilliant!! You’ve found a pattern that works for you and that makes keeping up the habit so much easier. Congratulations!! Headspace and headphones are a great way to start the day…. I only wish I was a morning person!

That’s a great article! I particularly like “Day five is a new low. I sleep in until 5.43am and then eat a salted caramel Magnum for breakfast to compensate for missing out on the pub.” That’s exactly how I would be!

I think the point made about most of us not being able to get to bed early enough to get enough sleep to be morning people. Maybe that’s what I need to focus on and delightfully morning wake ups will follow!
