Hello there and welcome to the Run Pod Run Club. I'm Jenny Falconer here to keep you company perhaps while you run.

Maybe you're

currently jogging round the block or very possibly you're looking for motivation to get up off

the sofa where you're in the right place. In this episode I'm joined by someone who's definitely

known more for business and interiors than running. She's former Dragon's Den Dragon and interior designer Kelly Hoppin. However,

like many others, exercise plays a huge part in her life. Welcome to Rumpot, Kelly.

Thank you for having me. This is exciting. I'm honestly, I'm so pleased to have you on

at all because we were just saying, not everyone realizes that, you know, you might have a passion

for fitness and exercise, but you really do. I was just saying, if realizes that you know you might have a passion for fitness and exercise but you really do

I was just saying if I don't get up and have my routine in the morning which is you know the alarm goes off at 540

I snooze a bit six o'clock I get up I go downstairs hot water and lemon make two coffees put my flow brew mushroom powder in, go upstairs and that starts my day. And then

I'm in the gym every single day for an hour and hour and a half. And that's kind of my meditation,

because I'm useless at meditating. It's my time. My phone is on only in case a child calls or an

emergency, but it really genuinely is my time and it sets me up

mentally and physically for the day. And it makes, you know, I'm buzzing now because I've done

all of that this morning. I'm just going to go right back to what you said at the start. You set your

alarm for 540. This is probably something that everyone can relate to yet you don't

get up till 6 so you have actually an allocated 20 minutes of snooze time i do that and people think

i'm weird i'm glad i'm not the only one it's like a process of you know i have one of these

sad lamps in the winter which i cannot tell you do they do they make the difference like you cannot believe. Honestly, they are incredible. So by the time you open your eyes, you've got this subdued daylight. And then I just open my eyes, I close my eyes. I kind of, that almost that's my kind of meditation. Get ready for the day. Think about the movie I watched the night before or get excited about what I'm doing in the day.
