Ever wish you could become a runner? You can. Over the next 8 weeks, I'm going to help you run 3.1 miles (5K). Ready? HERE WE GO...
Welcome to Week 7 // Run 1 of my new guided runs!!!
TODAY’S WORKOUT: 10 MINUTES OF RUNNING, 90 SECONDS RECOVERY WALK ENDING WITH 5 X 2 MINUTES FAST RUNNING, 2 MINUTES WALKING - 32 MINUTES TOTAL.
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 the 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!?
DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE RUN, SELFIE, REPEAT PODCAST ON ITUNES, GOOGLE PLAY, AND SPOTIFY AND, IF YOU'RE FEELING EXTRA INCREDIBLE AND AMAZING, I WOULD APPRECIATE YOU FOREVER IF YOU COULD LEAVE ME A 5-STAR RATING AND REVIEW ON ITUNES.
And tell your friends! If you know someone who is looking to start running but doesn’t know where to start, challenge them to give this a try.

| 0:17.2 | I don't know why that was so funny to me, but here we are today. We're doing a one mile jog, a 90 second recovery walk, and then we're going to do five by two minutes fast, two minutes walking. That means that we're going to go two minutes fast, two minutes walking. |

| 0:40.8 | The guided runs are very simple. |
| 0:42.4 | If you are on, if this is your first time trying it, I don't recommend you try with this one. Go back to week one, run one. But you know, do you? You know, if you think you can run for a mile and then this sounds like a fun way to spice up a run? |
| 0:58.0 | Go with this one. Do whatever. I'm not here to tell you how to live your life. I'm here to guide you through a run. |

| 1:17.0 | All right, because I'm not a GPS, I don't know how long it's going to take you to run a mile. Some people it takes, you know, like 15 minutes, some people it takes 12 minutes, some people it takes 10 minutes, 9 minutes, 8 minutes, whatever. There is no average mile time, there is no better mile time than another. |
| 1:36.0 | Just run comfortably. That is my first thing that I want you to do right now. |
| 1:40.0 | I want you to make sure that you're not starting off too fast. I want this to feel |
| 1:43.8 | I don't want to say comfortable because running is not a comfortable thing to do it's |
| 1:48.0 | always going to feel kind of hard. You're always at the more you think about it I |
| 1:51.4 | feel like the more it makes you feel like you're out of breath and you're like, oh my God, why am I doing this? |
| 1:56.0 | But you should be able to feel like you could kind of have a conversation with someone. |
| 2:01.0 | Yeah? You know the difference between like running to like Chipotle closes at |
| 2:07.2 | nine o'clock and it's like 857. You know that I have three minutes to get in that door run. This is not that run. |
| 2:15.0 | I don't know what time Chipotle closes and I also don't know why that just popped into my head, but it did. |
