I am a big believer that small lifestyle changes can have a huge impact on your health. This October I’ve partnered with Fitbit and I’m going to see if tracking my everyday activity, using the FitBit Surge 2, will help me to reach my goals. I have three healthy habits that I am going to track.
If you’ve been lacking in motivation lately, and you keep starting over again, then maybe try focusing on how you feel instead of how you look.
I’d be lying if I said that I enjoyed every minute of it but it is life experience that I will never forget. We never really know what we’re capable of until we try.
I’m letting go of any pressure and letting go of my ego. I believe that anyone who is willing to take on a marathon is incredibly brave and I’ll be proud to cross the finish line, even if it takes me all day!
There’s been so much going on over the last few weeks so here’s an update on what I’ve been up to lately … I flew to Stockholm to celebrate International Women’s Day. I went to visit my friend Hannah and to lead a fitness class in her brand new studio! Hannah is a fellow adidas ambassador and we first me last September in Copenhagen. I had previously followed Hannah on Instagram (obvs). Her account, @fashionablefit is a mixture of stylish three striped workout gear, empowering messages and Hannah looking so damn sexy & strong! I was joined by my fit pals Hayley and AJ, two ladies that totally inspire me, both for different reasons. The whole trip left me feeling like a total girl boss! I still can’t believe that my life now involves casually hopping on a plane for a thirty six hour trip to Europe. All because of this blog and social media. I’ll write a separate post about my thoughts on this maybe. I ran the North London Half Marathon! I was …
In just four weeks time, I’ll be lacing up and heading to the start line of the London marathon. This is going to be a huge challenge for me, for so many reasons. I’ve been road running for the last three years, however, I’ve always enjoyed running shorter speedy races. I’ve completed lots of 5K and 10K races but prior to taking on this epic challenge the longest run I’d ever completed was 10 miles. I was offered a place in this years London marathon by the fab team at adidas uk. I’d never even considered running a marathon before, but I said yes without a second thought! (I was later filled with fear as I considered the reality of not only the marathon itself, but also the four month training process.) I began training in January and so far it’s been going really well. It is definitely a bigger commitment than I first expected. It’s not just the time that you need to spend running but also the self care that supports your training. …
For the last four weeks I have been running (A LOT) in the brand new women’s running shoe, the ultraBOOSTX. Adidas have created a shoe, specifically designed for the female athlete. It is a fusion of two of my favourite running shoes, the ultraBOOST and the pureBOOSTX. One of the things that I love the most about running is that it can not be defined and that makes it accessible to everyone! It doesn’t matter how far you go, or how fast, if you run, then you are a runner. I have been running constantly for almost three years, this year I’m facing my biggest running challenge so far, as I will be taking on the London Marathon in April. It’s really important for me to be running in the best shoes, especially as I am currently clocking about 24 miles each week. In an attempt to remain injury free whilst training, I have been supporting my road running with some treadmill sessions, cycling and resistance training too. I’ve been wearing the ultraBOOSTX for 90% …
First stop on my RUN beautiful series is Copenhagen. I was lucky enough to be invited to join the adidas runners for a 12k run in the beautiful Scandinavian city. I’ve never been to Copenhagen before, but after just a few hour wondering around the city, I knew I was going to love it. We arrived on Friday afternoon, the airport is a short train journey away from the main city. Absolutely everyone cycles in Copenhagen and there is a Joe & The Juice on every corner. We spent the evening exploring the city and I couldn’t resist lacing up for a short run before dinner. If you fancy a weekend get away and you’re looking for a beautiful city to run, here’s why you should visit Copenhagen. . . How to get there – You can get a return flight from London for less than £100 and the flight is only an hour. Perfect if you’re only visiting for a few days or if you’re traveling with kids. Check Sky Scanner to compare flight …
As I’m sure you already know, I love to run. Running is so many things to so many people. It can be a way to escape and be alone with your thoughts, a way to challenge yourself, physically and mental, it can also be an amazing way to explore a new place. Over the last few years, my love for running has grown so much. I have found some great places to run near to home, as well as joining the London Midnight Runners to run through the iconic streets and bridges of London. I have completed 5k, 10k and 10 mile races and so far I’ve clocked up the miles in London, Zurich, Paris, Sardinia & Newquay. Earlier this year, we visited Cagliari for a family holiday. Each morning I went out on foot to explore the old town and to run along the beautiful Italian coastline. Whilst away I shared this image on Instagram with this caption … ‘Run the world. One of the best ways to explore a new city, is to …
Last night I led a run through East London to road test the adidas red pureBOOSTX shoes. The shoes are designed specifically for women’s feet, I’ve been running in them for a month for my 5K a day run challenge, PBX are my new favourite footwear! The ladies arrived at 6pm and swapped their kicks for a pair of PBX. After a quick warm up, we were ready to run. Our 5k route took us from Shoreditch, towards Monument, passed the Museum of London, through Old Street and back to the Virgin London Marathon Sweatshop store. If you’re a London road runner, then you get used to navigating the traffic and dodging commuters. I love running though the city and it’s way more fun to join a group than to go solo. If you want to join me next week to workout and run in the PBX shoes, keep your eyes on my instagram – @adriennetmm. I’ll be posting the info and link to the tickets on Monday. Thanks for having me adidasuk. I can’t …
