Summary
Welcome to Week 2 // Run 1 of my new guided runs!!!
My name is Kelly Roberts and for most of my life, I was the self-proclaimed president of the "I f*cking hate running club". I’m not athletic. I spent most of my life trying to find ways to avoid running. The only reason I ever found motivation to get to a gym was to obsessively work to try to lose weight.
Then I found myself just desperate enough to become a runner. My life was in a pause. I was drowning in grief after the death of my little brother and struggling to love the skin I was in. I’d just completed a two weight loss journey and successfully lost the 75+ pounds I gained after he passed away. But suddenly, I felt numb and out of control. I didn’t see the strength I worked so hard to build. Running was so difficult and painful that I didn’t have time to feel sorry for myself. It took every single ounce of me to put one foot in front of the other. Simply put, becoming a runner saved my life.
If you're looking for a new challenge or for a way to get active that won't make you hate yourself, spend the next 8 weeks with me. Run a 5K! It's not going to be easy and yes, it's going to hurt like hell but want to know what hurts more? Quitting. The only way you fail is if you fail to try!
My new guided runs are will be available wherever you get your podcasts and each one will follow my free 8-week training plan, “Become a runner in 8 weeks”. Give it a download and then press play.
You ready!?
TODAY’S WORKOUT: ALTERNATE BETWEEN RUNNING FOR 2 MINUTEs AND WALKING FOR 90 SECONDS MINUTE. 20 MINUTES TOTAL.

| 0:00.0 | Week two are you ready? Well it really doesn't matter, ready or not because it's happening. |
| 0:07.0 | One of my favorite things that I love to tell myself whenever I'm feeling like ridiculously overwhelmed or I'm struggling to get out of bed is that tomorrow's going to come whether or not I want it to and that has evolved into tomorrow's going to come whether I show up for myself or not. |
| 0:25.0 | Because it's true. Sometimes you don't want to do anything. |
| 0:29.0 | Life's coming at you hard, you have too much to do, there's so much going on on you haven't slept you maybe you haven't eaten |
| 0:36.8 | Finding 20 minutes to go for a run when life is coming at you so fast |
| 0:43.6 | Seems when life is coming at you so fast, seems sometimes almost ludicrous and irresponsible, |
| 0:51.3 | but look, at the end of the day, getting active and getting sweaty and having |
| 0:56.4 | that time to almost meditate, which is what running can become, one of the things it can become, it will save your life. |
| 1:06.1 | Getting active and getting enough sleep or two of the things that in a great, you know, |
| 1:10.1 | a healthy diet are the three things that lead to long healthy lives. |
| 1:14.0 | So let's get into today. It's week two. This is run one of week two. |
| 1:19.6 | Today we're doing two minutes of jogging and then a 90 second walk. If you're already running, I don't |
| 1:26.4 | know what to tell you. How do you feel? No, just kidding. Chances are you're not running |
| 1:30.8 | yet because you're a weekend and you know the drill I'm going to |
| 1:33.8 | tell you when to run for two minutes and then I'm going to tell you when to stop and |
| 1:36.6 | walk for 90 seconds and recover. Today's pretty straightforward. You can do it. Last week, what happened, and whether or not last |
| 1:45.3 | week was great or not great, we're moving forward. And you are now stronger because of what |
| 1:49.4 | happened last week, whether you made it through all the workouts or not. Don't worry about it. |
| 1:53.0 | All I want today is for you to do your personal best. |
| 1:57.0 | Challenge yourself whenever you doubt yourself |
| 2:00.0 | and see what happens, yeah, just give your best and see what happens. |
| 2:03.6 | Should we get started? |
