Tips to stay motivated to run in the winter

Hiya,

Here’s my top tips on staying motivated to keep that run going, even in the cold winter months!

Set yourself goals – write down your goals as well as tell people what your goals are so it will make you achieve them and keep you motivated

Enter a winter race – This is another way to keep you focused and motivated to train

Hire a personal trainer or find a running buddy – book a session or meet a buddy for a run. You are more likely to turn up because you will have to pay your trainer even if you do not turn up or you will be letting your buddy down.

Train in the morning – Get your session done first thing and then you do not have all day to talk yourself out of going for a run

Add variety to your run training:

  • Strength exercises
  • Treadmill running
  • X-trainer
  • Swimming
  • Exercise classes
  • Circuit training
  • Spinning

Ensure you dress for winter – Buying new clothes can also help motivate you. Remember to dress down 10% to what the actual weather is outside because you will warm up as you get going on your run.

Mum & Daughter training sessions

Hiya,

I just had to share one of my lovely patients stories with you, enjoy!

“My Mother has always been my best friend, and since going to University I’ve really missed our quality time together.

We both really enjoy working out, especially together, and we love to go to fitness classes together; but, surrounded by other people, it’s hard for us to call this quality time spent with one another.

In an attempt to remedy this, my mother booked us in for a joint personal training session at Emma James Physiotherapy and it completely revolutionised how we work out together.

We get to bond, whilst also partaking in little challenges against each other, set by the trainer (which I hate to admit but I, more often than not, lose to my mother in…).
We get to spend that really valuable time together, whilst also working out; this is especially great for my mother, who works a lot and often struggles to find time to work out.

The exercises set by the trainer found a happy medium between both of our strengths in different areas, allowing us both a solid workout, whilst also pushing us to be better in the areas which we were less used to working.

Joint training sessions at Emma James Physiotherapy are an occasion that I also look forward to, not only as it allows me to spend time with my best friend, but the session also pushes me in a tailored, fun workout”.
