And I’ve noticed this about myself—even when I don’t feel like going, if I skip a run, my mood is always worse than if I’d just gone.

I said in my last blog that I’d been injured, and that I had until the end of January to decide whether I would defer London or go ahead. Well, the end of January came, and I was still stuck.

The simple act of lacing up our trainers and heading out the door — whether that’s for a 5k parkrun or a long run in marathon training — can feel like a given. I know I certainly have. Over the past… Continue Reading →]]></description><link>https://www.motivatedtorun.co.uk/post/when-running-isn-t-a-given</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a2dc3c744c7bef1d031068c</guid><pubDate>Sat, 24 Jan 2026 22:04:02 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5f31c0_51131cad021b4583ba680927def89d6c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_675,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>MotivatedtoRun</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why I’m Running London Again – And Why This One Feels Different]]></title><description><![CDATA[Earlier this year, I applied for a charity place with Cardiomyopathy UK to run the 2026 London Marathon.

Back then, I was over three stone overweight and desperate to make a change.
