- Week 3, done babes! If you're new here, I'm Emily and I am a slow runner. I post all of my runs over on my IG. I'm tracking in km, not miles :)

Your stance "Wear the fucking running vest" I think we just became best friends. 😂❤
😂😂😂💖
Watching your insta reels I am now an avid slow runner, I have found I feel way more comfortable and proud when you get back and don't want to throw up😂
Haha yessss trying to enjoy the run is so important!
I wear my running vest almost any time I do something outside. Hiking, walking, running, and more recently I've discovered that it's PERFECT for gardening! Why wouldn't I want to wear something that gives me extra pockets, AND a water pouch on the back?? Yes pleeeease.
Literallyyyy!!!! I can’t be without it
Amazing work on your 7k! Your slow pace running has inspired me to go back to running and start actually enjoying it! ❤️
Yay, I’m so glad!
You made me think about getting a running vest. I saw you wearing one and realized I'm influenced by some imaginary scale if I deserve a vest (because I wanted to "earn" my vest with a distance, omg what) or an opinion of imaginary "cool" runner, and if he would approve me wearing a vest. Even typing it out loud is ridiculous. It's such a struggle finding shorts and leggings with a pocket on my lower back for my phone (I refuse to wear those with a pocket on one leg). I can't imagine how sad someone has to be to actually gatekeep vests and harass girls online.
If it makes your runs easier then deffo get yourself on Amazon and get one 😇
Well done at your 7 km!! Keep hanging in there. You’ve Got this
Thank you so much!!
Love it!
Thanks 💖

Love this! I've been following your account and it's made me feel so much better and confident to go at my own pace. do you incorporate walking into your runs, or do you aim to only run?
Thank you! That makes me so happy. I do a mixture of solid runs and also run/walk splits depending on the type of run I'm doing.
I’m doing the Brighton marathon too 🙈 I’m a complete newbie runner so I’m nervous af but hopefully at least some of it will be fun 😅
Oooo exciting! How is your training going?
I've ran the Brighton marathon twice. It's an amazing atmosphere with crowd support on almost all of the course. The first 8-9 miles can be hilly so be cautious of that.
Thank you for the tip! Need to start doing some more hills 😂
ngl I get pretty paranoid running 5ks with vest on while seeing people running more than 10k without one but glad im not alone haha
I wear mine on like 99% of my runs :)
Hello love your content and thanks for sharing :) Never run a race before but been on and off slow running for a few years. My max has probably been 5 miles. You are so inspiring - thoughts on complete beginners training for a marathon with no other race experience 😅? Tempted to sign up to one!
Also you said you are doing pre training and training for your marathon. Would you advise that? Worried about over training!
Hey! Thank you :) I'm no expert but my advice would be to get a running plan to build up your distance gradually, so if you book a marathon make sure to give yourself a good amount of time that you feel comfortable with. Mine isn't until April next year which feels achievable for me running 3 x per week. I really feel like I need to do a couple of plans to build up my fitness and endurance which is why I started early, it also means I will be less likely to get injured as I haven't shocked my body, I'm increasing the miles gradually. Hope this helps :) @@corrieclough5866
@@Runswithemily Thank you so much! Tempted to book a half instead - don't want to jump the gun! Hope your training is going well :)
Where is your runnignvest from? #stop gate keeping the running vest
It’s from Truestrap! I think they’re sold out you should be able to find a similar one on Amazon 😇
