Soul Runners

Some obvious running goals focus on an increase of speed and / or distance. These are both great ones to have, however it's important to recognize that some goals go beyond that. . . It could be as simple as wanting to get outside to get some fresh air or... . . to complete a 30 day running streak or . . the ability to run without a reoccurring injury showing up or . . learning how to enjoy the heart of the sport without worrying about the pressure of competition and stats. No matter what the goal is, one of the most important aspects to running is learning that there is ALWAYS room to improve. No matter what level you are at, no matter what goals you have. . . Check us! soulrunners.ca/fitness

"I'm going to try new things" is an example of a really great goal, that is probably going to fail. You need micro goals to get to the big picture! . . What are you going to try? When are you going to try it? Do you have to save money to do it? Did you write it down? Do you have a plan? Did you say it out loud? .... . My big goal this year is to add more long runs to my weekly routine. I'd like to do atleast 2 of them per week, on my own, outside of our run clubs. So what are my micro goals? . . I'm going to start by cleaning up my nutrition habits. I'm going to eat clean, be consistent with it, track everything in my fitness pal, coordinate it with my Garmin, do more home cooking, force my family to be on the same page, and allow myself 1 cheat day a week so I don't die. . . I have no idea who these people in the pic are, but they looked like they were having so much fun and going after some of their own goals. Also, they look very, very brave. . . Happy running!

If you ask me what I love the most about being a running coach, it's that I get to see people set goals, and then CRUSH them! This week I want to spotlight @luv2run_27 who set a goal in 2020 to get her 10k down to under 1 hour and DID IT WITH FLYING COLOURS ...even through all of the weird snowstorms and weather we had! . .... How did she do it? She came up with a practicable goal, said it out loud, found a great group of people to motivate her, and followed through with the change of routine by putting in the work every. single. day. Great job and here's to a New Year with different goals! Can't wait to see what you accomplish this time!

Regardless of how people react when being asked about the dreaded New Year's Eve question, every year, millions of people still make resolutions. This is super important. This indicates that most of us want to spark change. Positive change. And that's a great thing... Right?? . . Check soulrunners.club/blog for our Resolutions article! .... . Happy New Year! See more

The introvert in me adored the seclusion . . The extrovert in me loved the challenge .... . Grateful for you always being my constant @97now . . Goodbye 2020, I'll never forget you See more

Today we celebrate the 5k crew and all they have accomplished over the past 3 months. Through all the miles, we have witnessed improved endurance, strength, distance, motivation, and weight-loss (just to name a few). But my favorite thing about this group? No matter how challenged they were, they would always make room for laughter and we would always leave these sessions feeling on-top of the world . . Our classes will resume in the New year, once the grey zone has been lifted. Check soulrunners.ca for more info on our programs. There's still time to sign up

I wouldn't want to be stuck with anyone else but you guys @97now . . Merry Christmas from my fam jam to yours. Stay happy, healthy and safe and don't forget to appreciate

Happy Christmas Eve - Eve! . . Left with the intent of doing a 10k, but holy moly what a beautiful day to be outside! .... . It's been a while since I've been able to check my 21k, so I took advantage of the morning . . Things that were in my side today Weather Playlist (do you ever get those days where you hate every song pumping through your own playlist?!) Energy (no alarm clock this morning!) Time . . Things not on my side Cookies for breakfast Eggnog in my coffee (minor mid run cramping) This outfit (I overdressed ) . . The take aways: Mind over matter (every single time). Do it because you love it. Enjoy the view. Enjoy the process. It's okay to stop and breath. Feel greatful we are still able to do this during times like these. . Stay happy and safe

We have launched our virtual training programs! Open to anyone, anywhere in the world! Check soulrunners.ca for more info

Today marks the farthest distance we have ever ran together and I want this to be a reminder to anyone who needs to hear it - What seems hard now will one day be your warm up. .... . Today we reminisced about the very first week we ran together and how every little obstacle at the time (like all.the.hills) are non existent only 3 months later. . . Ladies, we are going to crush your 10k goals next season, but most importantly, continue to have good times and great laughs. . . soulrunners.ca for more info on our programs See more

We started as a group of people, we finished as a group of friends . . .... . Here's to the Last 10k class of the season! . . It's been a challenging but amazing 3 months and we've all come a long way. Not only have we each accomplished our own unique goals, but we've helped each other stay accountable. Yes, the hardest part of any fitness program is getting out the door, but knowing that a bunch of smiling faces are waiting for you at the start line is enough motivation to help you put one foot infront of the other, one day at a time. . . Looking forward to crushing our 15k goals in the new year. Here is a sneak peak of the new route . . For more info on our programs, check soulrunners.ca @luv2run_27

Easy () 12k this morning. Got as far as the second bridge, view was beautiful but it was really windy on the way back and now my face hurts (still worth the adrenaline though!) . . Guess where we're going Saturday morning, 10kers??!! Dress warm! You will love it .... . 12 more kms to log for the 12 Runs of Christmas Challenge! Almost done it's been a hoot. . . Happy running everyone! Stay safe and warm and happy. . . @londonontariorunningchallenges See more

These ladies have hustled hard over the past few months to reach their 5k goals, and what makes me even happier is that even though we've reached the 5k mark, the goals keep on coming. Sad this is our last week of class but excited for what's to come for both of them

They are amping up for a 10k on Sunday! All I asked for is 1 minute of speed half way through and they gave me an entire kilometer! Well done ladies @luv2run_27 @sabrinaawwwyeah @ London, Ontario

Congratulations to @lhbmyinstalife . . Not only did this wonderful lady run her fastest 5k today, but she added another 1.2 km onto her distance! . .... Looking forward to seeing what else she is going to crush in the New Year . . Happy running! See more

Finally got my hands on a Garmin, wanted to see what all the fuss was about. So far I dig it except it took 10 minutes to recognize my run this morning (but I'm hoping that's a first time use kind of dealio). Thank god for back up apps (because if I don't post it to Instagram, it's like it never happened ) . . One more race next Sunday, looking forward to throwing on my headphones and just going with it this time. The last one was a beautiful reminder to remember to kick bac...k and enjoy the process. What makes me really happy is that some of the other Soul Runners want to join! It's gonna be a great day. . . Happy running everyone @ London, Ontario See more

Winter running is hard! The trails are crunchy, there's black ice everywhere and the ground levels are super inconsistent. Speed training becomes difficult and the sudden realization that winter = maintenance can be a hard concept to grasp. But you know what winter running is good for? It forces you to focus on form, such as utilizing your core, recognizing those breathing patterns, and appreciating the quiet beauty that surrounds you. You use different muscles you wouldn't typically use (hello balance!) and the mental strength that comes with completing an activity outside in the freezing cold is rewarding. All of these traits transpire into the next season, and all of your snowy efforts do not..I repeat...do not go to waste. So what are you waiting for? . . Check soulrunners.ca for info on our winter running programs

The fine print . . It says .... . "Adult supervision needed" . . Nice snowy 5k tonight. The hardest part is getting outside. Great job ladies! See more
