Major milestone:

My milestone is ongoing. Keeping up with the schedule and staying as healthy as possible.

What is the secret to your success?

I would say my secret to success is I don’t give up easy. There is also determination, positive attitude and support from my family, especially my husband.

What is the biggest obstacle to reaching your goals and how do you get over it?

My biggest obstacle is sticking to the schedule and keeping up with a job, housework, etc. If I am really not in the mood to work out, I take a day off. Getting right back to it the next day can also be another motivator. Even if I don’t run all the assigned miles, I at least get some in. Walk breaks also help to keep me motivated and on track.

What is the most rewarding part of training?

Most rewarding part of training is finishing a run, keeping blood pressure and weight under control.

What advice would you give to other members of the Runcoach community?

Keep trying! It usually takes me about 3 weeks to see progress. Of course, that is sticking to the schedule more often than not.
It is okay to take a day off once in a while, especially if you don’t feel well or need sleep.
There are also different kinds of workouts, like bike, swim, yoga, pilates, strength training.

Anything else you would like to share?

I really like the quote “You get more compliments for working out than sleeping in!"

What feedback would you offer the Runcoach experience?

I really like the flexibility on the website. The schedule tells me what activity is scheduled, but I can also change it. It also lets me know if I am on track with mileage and XT workouts.
