Hey

I’m always thinking about the physical vs the non physical aspects of life

Running keeps you fit physically, of course

But, there are lots of other things that one can do to 'keep fit'

Eat well

Think well

Take walks

Read a book

Get out in fresh air

Meditate

Visualise

Learn

Smile

Talk to others

Run with others

Try something different

Focus on positive thoughts

Let go of negative thoughts

Think about things in different ways

Cultivate meaningful relationships

Develop new perspectives in life

Change who you are becoming

Get excited about the future

All of these things add up to the total economy of 'fitness'

Physical and non physical together is the answer

If you want to crack on with 8 x 1km then go for it, but do it with others

Do it with a smile on your face (usually a grimace with km reps)

Always promote those thoughts that are going to serve you (even if the session isn't going as planned)

And be dam proud of yourself for showing up

Celebrate the small wins

The everyday wins

That's the marriage of good mental and physical aspects of life coming together

Really that's what fitness comes down to

Output not outcome

Until next time
