Cara’s getting a bit fed up with the same old trot round her village, which leads us onto some exciting plans for adventuring in the future. She can’t wait to get a bit braver with her running and use it as a way of exploring her surroundings; she’s going to make a wonderful trail runner!Running motivationWe’re also talking all about how Cara ticks and what’s going to encourage her to keep up the habit. She thinks plotting some runs around some places she’d really like to visit could be a good place to start. This makes us wonder: why do we always have to have a goal time or distance to get us up and running? Could we all do with taking a leaf out of Cara’s books? More supportSign up to our weekly 5K support emails for more advice with your training and a check-in on your progress.
