What 7 days of cardio did to me

Days 1 through to 3 I felt nothing out of the ordinary, its not unusual that I will work out 3 days straight throughout the week if I know I have a hectic weekend ahead. However in the evening of the 4th day I began to feel a little burnt out, I slept like a baby - however found myself full of energy the next morning. On day 5 I surprisingly noticed a difference in my fitness! I knew eventually this string of cardio would have an impact on my fitness- I just didn’t expect it to happen so quickly! Day 6, much like the previous day I found myself energised in the morning, however by that night I was totally burnt out. Working out on day 7 was rough. Coming home from the gym I walked straight to my bed and slept for three hours.

Overall - yes I may have noticed a difference in my fitness, however I can guarantee it was NOT worth the fatigue & exhaustion that came along with it. Working out so intensely for 7 days straight is not sustainable. Don’t be afraid to take a break & take care of yourself.

I've been eating around 1000 cal. everyday and been doing h-i-i-t everyday also but im not seeing any results :(

I don’t count calories but 1000 isn’t nearly enough ESPECIALLY if you’re including such a low intake with daily HIIT!!! Fuel your body! Not only will this allow better results but I promise you’ll feel so much more energised!

How often do you workout? xx

I aim for around 5-6 times a week, depending on what I have happening during that week/energy levels etc. Its all about balance x

1:57:04 // Today, I ran my first half marathon. And it meant the world to me. It was more than just a physical goal- Ive been running consistently for years. I know I’m capable. It was more than just a mental goal- because let’s be honest, races are a mental game too.

This race was an achievement because it symbolizes to me everything I have gone through to find balance and joy living in health and hope.

In 2012 I signed up for the Boston BAA Run to Remember half marathon. I trained for it for months, only to succumb to an injury due to my restrictive eating (the lowest point of my eating disorder). I was devastated and so upset that I gave running up after that, and didn’t return to it until November of 2014.

I cried today as I crossed the finish- not because of the pain, not because of all the cheering, and not because I finished way below my goal time. I cried for the 16 year old me who didn’t understand health and happiness. I cried for all those moments where I felt the shadows of my past creeping in. I cried because this is what I wanted and dreamed of for so long– and I finally did it through grace and strength. My legs and my lungs and my heart and my body have endured more than some do in a lifetime. And I am so grateful that they stayed strong with me. Thank you Jesus and thank you God– for all of it.
