Running teaches you that growth isn’t linear. Some days you’ll feel unstoppable. Others you’ll question everything. But the magic? It’s in showing up, anyway. #running

Ice baths, foam rollers, and massage guns won’t fix your laziness. Train harder, or stay injured. Simple as that. #running

Do cardio. Walk a lot. Lift weights. Hydrate. Eat clean. Go to bed at the same time every night. Get sunlight in your eyes every morning. And most importantly—be consistent. Health isn’t rocket science. #running

Running math that no one talks about: • 5 runs per week • 2 pieces of gear per run That’s 10+ items to wash, plus socks, hats, towels, and more. Times 52 weeks? That’s 520+ items of laundry. Running is amazing—but the laundry situation is real. #running

Sad truth: Miss two workouts in a row, and suddenly months of missed gym sessions can fly by. Don’t let it happen. Whatever you do, never miss twice. #running

Want to run longer and burn fat more efficiently? Try the Maffetone Method (MAF). Work mostly in your aerobic zone (Zone 2)—180 minus your age gives you your max aerobic heart rate. It’s about training your body to run faster at a lower heart rate. The result? Better aerobic

Hill workouts are tough—but they’re worth it. Hill running is like speedwork in disguise. Here’s how to do it: • Find a hill 100+ yards long • 90% effort, 30 seconds to 1 minute • Walk/jog back down for recovery Increase intensity as you progress—more intervals, steeper

Running isn’t really about running. It’s about showing up when you don’t want to. It’s about getting out there in the rain, heat, or cold. It’s about building mental strength to face anything life throws at you. #running

Vertical oscillation = running with a bounce = wasted energy. If you’re bouncing, you’re slowing yourself down and burning out quicker. Here’s how to fix it: • Imagine running under a low roof—don’t hit your head • Keep your foot below your knee, not ahead of it • Focus

Overstriding is sabotaging your run. Your foot lands way ahead of your hips, causing extra stress and a braking effect. Here’s the fix: • Shorten your stride • Focus on springing off instead of lengthening • Think quick, light foot strikes • Keep your knees over your feet

Running in bad weather builds something deeper than muscle. Your mind learns: no excuse is good enough. Your spirit learns: comfort is optional. Your soul learns: you’re capable of anything. #running

“If you have time to scroll, you have time to squat.” – Strength training doesn’t require a gym — just discipline.

Running isn’t a therapist. It won’t unpack your childhood. It won’t reframe your thoughts. It won’t challenge your inner critic with compassion. What it can do is keep you grounded enough to do that deeper work when you’re ready. So don’t use running to avoid therapy.

Big Myth: “You need to lose weight before you run” That’s straight-up gatekeeping. Can you move? Can you walk-jog, even if slowly? Congrats—you’re allowed to run. And here’s the kicker: even if your weight doesn’t change, your fitness and health can improve. Your heart, your

My mental strategy for The Maybank Half Marathon. I'm breaking the race into bite-size battles, devoting each mile to someone I care about. One for my dad (who has taught me the value of hard work) One for my sister that passed away 3 years ago this day (who has loved me
