OMG My Legs Look Like Old Lady Legs- Running and Body Image and Why We Need to Treat Our Mind as a Muscle

Runners and body image- the topic is massive but it needs to be talked about.

One little statement can trigger someone else into self doubt or worse yet, into a full-blown eating disorder. People see what people do, not what you say.

The mind is a muscle that needs to be worked. Do you know how many negative thoughts an average person has per day? What are you telling yourself?

As a runner, your legs and body are for you. Do you eat to run or run to eat?

How can we break the stigma that all runners need to look a certain way? 

Healthy bodies run long and fast- healthy doesn't mean skinnier. Let's learn to love our bodies and be the best versions of ourselves.
