1. I’ll be honest, running’s not my favourite way to exercise

When we first launched our 0-5km KICRUN program, I was so keen to jump on board and give it a go. I never used to love running and I never considered my self a ‘runner’ but KICRUN helped me build my confidence up to running 5km, non-stop! But in all honesty, running still isn’t my preferred type of movement. I absolutely love tuning into my body and moving the way I feel like. I love my strength training and pilates – and so trying to balance a run program on top of that is just too much to commit to in my routine. But I’ll often have random bursts of energy and feel super motivated to go for a run, so our one-off guided runs are absolutely perfect for me!

2. They’re the ultimate mood-booster

Laura’s guided runs are filled with feel-good affirmations to help you overcome self-doubt and run your way with confidence. Just like the KICRUN program, she’s in your ears, guiding you along the way, so I’m literally running with my best friend, and you can too!

3. I can find time-based runs to fit with me

Working and mum life can be super busy, especially with Harvey’s morning routine being so different at the moment. I’ve been loving the time-based guided runs because I know exactly what I’m in for. Whether I have 15 mins or 30, I can find a run that fits with me that day.

4. And when I do have time, I can challenge myself

When I have a bit more time on the weekends, I’ve been trying our distance based runs. I love a good 3km run – it’s a great way to get out and moving! The extra motivation with Laura has really helped my mindset. Usually I want to give up after the first kilometre, but hearing Laura’s feel-good affirmations keeps me going until that timer stops. She also encourages you to mix up your pace in the distance based runs, and comes back into your ears to remind you – so it keeps it interesting!
