🏁 Friday Finish Line 🏁

Eat Well 🍎

The Post-Run Slump 🍽
Ever finish a run feeling like a champ, only to crash an hour later? That’s your body begging for fuel. Within 30 minutes, grab a snack containing carbs and protein—like Greek yogurt, chocolate milk, or eggs on toast. Recover faster and feel better!

Hydration Creep 🥤
That sluggish, foggy feeling? It might not be fitness—it could be dehydration sneaking up on you. Sweat removes more than just water. Simple solution? Drink when you're thirsty and add electrolytes after long runs. You’ll feel much better, faster.

Run Well 👟

Give Yourself an Out ⏳
Not feeling it today? Give yourself permission to stop once you start. No pressure, no expectations—just start moving. Often, momentum takes over. And if it doesn’t? At least you showed up. 

Master the Crawl 🐢
Want to improve your running? Slow it way down. The Crawl—a pace so easy it almost feels like cheating—is where endurance is built. No huffing, no gasping, just moving. Make this your default, and see everything else become easier.

Live Well 🌟

The “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead” Lie 😴
I used to wear poor sleep like a badge of honor—until my training hit a wall. Recovery isn’t extra; it’s essential. Start small: Set a bedtime alarm just like a wake-up alarm. Wind down, put your phone away, and allow your body to repair itself. No sleep, no progress.

Make Habits Stick 🛠
Struggling to build habits? Connect them to something you already do. Stretch while you brush your teeth. Drink water before your coffee. Make it automatic.
