I've always been a bit of a runner. Well, since adulthood, anyway. As a child I didn't participate in any track and field or running-heavy sports, so running came later in life as a fitness-oriented activity. I've run varying amounts for 15 years and I really enjoy it.
Ouch! My legs hurt today! It's not every day that my own Belly Bootcamp classes hit me so hard I'm actually sore for a day or two...but it happens sometimes when I've crafted a particularly effective combination of exercises to target a specific part of the body.
If you haven't already heard, this September, Erica, the YMC team, and I will be running the RBC Run For The Kids in support of Sunnybrook Family Navigation Project to aid families of children with mental health issues.
Everyone starts somewhere. Even a couch potato can run a 5k.
As a trainer I hear the question “Am I fit enough to do this?” or “What if I can’t do it all?”
Sometimes, getting started is the hardest part.
Admitting you need some coaching or advice can be a difficult practice in humility, and once you’ve realized you need support the challenge is in finding the right resource — coach, support group, book, program — to get you to where you need to be.
