what I eat in a day to stay lean & feel my best 🥯 everyday looks different for me with creating recipes & loving variety this is just what works for me, some days are simple foods that are easy to make or that need using up, others grabbing meals on the go, some super interesting yummy foods - find what works for you! I finished my day with oats to replenish with carbs, fats & protein as I had an evening session planned. I also take creatine, beta alanine & replenish with electrolytes daily + vitamins ✨ all from myprotein ! I aim for 150g protein to build & maintain muscle mass as well as improve my recovery, I often aim to get that in whole foods 80-90% of the time or my day, I use @myprotein impact whey to boost protein intake in my day usually in yogurt bowls & oats! The crispy wafers are my FAV treat 🍫 code ‘LAURENNMP’ will save you 10% 🤍 ad wearing @DFYNE DC: LAURENN #fulldayofeating #whatieat #whatieatinaday #fulldayoffood #highprotein #highproteinmeals #mealinspo #mealideas #mealplan #breakfastideas #breakfastinspo #lunchideas #lunchinspo

episode 5: training for my first half marathon 🏃🏼 pyramid intervals session: 2km warm up, 90s walking rest 200m @ 4:45/km, 60s walking rest 400m @ 4:50/km, 60s walking rest 800m @ 5:15/km, 90s walking rest 1km @ 5:25/km, 90s walking rest 800m @ 5:15/km, 90s walking rest 400m @ 4:50/km, 60s walking rest 200m @ 4:45/km, 60s walking rest 1.2km cool down I did actually end up getting a good lil bit faster than those splits which I’m proud of, intervals are supposed to be your maximum effort & high HR sessions. They’re there to get you faster on your longer runs and able to hold pace & have bursts of faster paces towards the end of a race! Enjoyed this one even though the wind was blowing me off the track lol I can’t wait for spring to turn up because it felt like winter 😭 the IMPORTANCE of a training programme and having interval/speed sessions, long runs & easy runs is crazy, I compared my week 2 to this current run and the progress is so rewarding to see 🥹 il pop it in my running highlights!

RUNNING TIPS !! 🏃🏼 from a beginner runner & online fitness coach. Now background story, I’ve been an AVID gym goer for the last 3-4 years +into fitness & the gym for 7 years but i wasn’t educated then! I’ve been training for aesthetics on a body builder programme with cutting & bulking cycles for the last 3-4 years and wanted a change! Tried to train for a half marathin last year but got injured and was too scared to go again but this year its HAPPENING! & im currently training a hyrbid split which i luv 🫶🏼 #runningtips #gymgirl #fitnesstips #running #runner #runtips #runtipsforbeginners

episode 3: training for my first half marathon 🏃🏼 10km tempo run !! 3km warm up @ comfortable pace 5km tempo split @ half marathon pace 2km cool down @ comfortable pace FINALLY in the double digits and it felt GOOD !! 🥰 I ran a 10km randomly (ish) last year I wanted to train for a half marathon and just kinda felt rubbish so thought I’d try a 10km BUT i was silly and never used to warm up properly, stretch or follow a training program to build up to 10km! Whilst this could be ok sometimes you absolutely should follow a training programme to increase weekly mileage by about 10% each week to allow your body to adapt - think progressive overload, you wouldn’t just go lift 100kg of the bat so you shouldn’t just go run the heavy distances! I was nervous because I’m so scared of being injured because I know what that feeling is like 😭 BUT because I have followed a training programme, warm up for 10 mins+ AND stretch afterwards my body is handling it well and I honestly felt like I could have done it twice 🤪 I tested out a gel in this run as I want to try out some energy sources for race day / longer runs without my stomach being ruined on the day LOL, I had a @Science in Sport cherry gel and I honestly didn’t mind it I had half about 3km from finishing and I did honestly feel the lil energy boost so I shall be trying a full one on some longer runs in the weeks to come! I also love their electrolytes and had some before heading out to avoid cramping In my vest: (vest is @myprotein active wear) - an energy gel - a Percy pig for a reward & they’re 7g carbs per sweet - sunnies from @Amazon - tissues bcos I’m snotty atm 🤪 - AirPods for tunez #running #runvlog #halfmarathon #halfmarathontraining #10kmrunning #fitness #runvlog #fitnessmotivation #runningmotivation #gymmotivation #gymgirl #runningtips
