• Do you find it hard to find motivation to run?
• Are you often exhausted and sore, dreading the next workout?
• Are you concerned that you reached your peak and that you just cannot surpass it?
• Do you wish to improve your endurance and stamina to give you that extra boost in training and make you faster and more consistent on the race course?

Running is special because it makes you stay active and healthy without needing to invest in a lot of expensive equipment. It’s a great cardiovascular exercise that is not only beneficial for your lungs and legs but also helps burn fat and lose weight. Running releases endorphins in your brain, which gives you the feeling of happiness and well-being, lowers your stress levels and increases self-esteem.

Successful runners possess the full range of fundamental athletic skills they acquire through regular workouts that strengthen muscles and joints, which can improve their stamina, race times and decrease injury risk. This requires commitment and dedication that sometimes can become quite overwhelming.

It’s not easy to find the motivation and willpower to get out of a warm bed, lace up your trainers and get out of the door, whatever the weather.

Sometimes the sore muscles, aching joints and feeling out of breath make you lose self-confidence and drive. Watching other runners glide effortlessly pass you can be disheartening, especially if you think you are giving your best and yet failing to achieve your set goals.

In order to be a successful runner, it’s important to focus not just on the physical aspect of running, but on the mental one as well. Whether you’re a newbie or veteran runner, training for a race or simply re-discovering your love of running, your mindset will decide and determine your success.

If you keep telling your mind that you are just not good enough, your body will start to believe your mind. You have to change the messages your body is receiving, from the complaints and cries of pain and fatigue to a positive, strong message, that will reinvigorate your stride and empower your spirit and make you run like the wind.

Our affirmations album can help you achieve this! If you integrate these simple, yet powerful messages into your daily running routine you will see that your confidence has grown and you are conquering new distances with your energy and vitality restored.
