This lockdown has been a blessing in disguise for me with my athletics. It has given me the time and the opportunity to go back to basics. I have been able to work on the finer details of my movement patterns and truly get in touch with my body’s abilities. It has most importantly allowed me to get on top of my painful injury, and on the path to a stronger version of myself. Lockdown has tested me beyond what I ever thought I could handle but I have taken it all within my stride, with a lot of patience, persistence and an amazing support team I have been able to keep a positive mindset towards my training and rehab. I have learnt to never limit the power my mindset holds on the way I perceive different situations. I have been able to adapt really well with my new training set up. I turned my backyard into a home gym and that is where I work closely with my coach, who I live with. This is where my rehab, gym and bike sessions all take place. I worked out very quickly it was important for me to set mini goals to reach during this time to maintain a sense of accomplishment and progression. Through the combination of both the lockdown and my injury that wouldn’t allow me to run, I have found beauty in the struggle of doing simple things that prior to this injury were taken for granted. So when I return I will have a new found appreciation for exactly how much I love to run, and the fire I my belly will be bigger than ever before.」11月19日 19時02分
