You’re crushing it! Cheers to inspiring others!! 2 quick tips to follow up on your solid recs: 1. Get fitted for running shoes at a running store. Having your gait analyzed and getting shoes to counteract anything wonky can help you prevent injury or recover from one! 2. Look up your goal pace and the coordinating BPM. Then take that number to Spotify or to the internet in general for great playlists to keep you ticking along at your goal pace! Life. Changing. Esp when you’re trying to bust through a plateau or aiming for any goal really.
I think that you ARE a runner, and so is everyone else who just goes out and enjoys it. The problem is when you let other people convince you that you are not good enough. Running tip (for women): also invest in a good, supportive bra :-)
I think it’s absolutely normal to run to the beat. I do this as well. There’s an app called Runkeeper and when you connect it to Spotify and pick sports dedicated playlist, it picks songs whose beat matches your steps. It’s great 👍🏻
I've started running at the beginning of the year and hit a bit of a lull last week of feeling rubbish about it. This made me feel so much better thanks Alix x
I always listen to podcast or audio books while I'm running because I hate it to match my pace to the beat of a song :D The advantage is that I do not focus on running so much. I just run. I started from 0 exactly one year ago, now I run 9 km. I use the app 10 k Runner, it really helped me to get started because I was an absolute beginner and it guides you through interval runs
I enjoyed watching this video so much! You should do more What I Eat In A Day, I love watching them and you always give so many good tips and inspos 😊💜
This was such a great video! I resonated with lots you said - there is apparently a sweet spot of beats per minute in a song for running :). I also know for me it is definitely a mind over matter thing - the mind wants to give up long before the body does. One tip my husband gave me which weirdly works is when you start to feel a bit tired and need to stop, you pretend you have invisible walking poles ( is that what they are called? What hikers use) in my hands and it mentally makes me feel like a weight is lifted and helps me keep running! Sorta spring me along 😂. I also like to think that no matter how ridiculous I look, rather than laughing at me I hope I am making people think “she’s good, I need to go do that” haha
For something fun to try, I like the Zombies, Run app. Basically there’s a background story where there’s a zombie apocalypse, but you have your music running in between the story “parts.”
Great video, informative, realistic, great recipes and always nice to reward yourself with a biscuit. Your hair looked great at the end and skin glowing. ❤
I have tried to run on and off for years and finally realized running and me don’t get along , I do much better with weights . I’ve always envied runners .
You ARE a runner! Congrats on the success so far. So awesome. I have tofu scramble a lot as well. You should try a little bit of nutritional yeast in the tofu “eggs“. Yum Yum Yum! Cheers from Vancouver 🇨🇦
no 1 is get your gait assessed and buy the right trainers for you. Go to a proper running shop and they will let you try a load of trainers on a treadmill and film your feet so you know which shoes support you in the places you need to it. Also a bra.
Such a great, descriptive video! Makes me want to get out again, I've tried a few times but never got past the 2nd run on the Coach to 5k app. Can you let me know whether your green jumper is like a sage colour like it looks on screen or more like a khaki green?
Have you read Bella Mackie‘s book Jog On? I think you would really enjoy/maybe even resonate with it! I’ve always had a bit of a fantasy of being a runner, it must be such a great thing to be able to do! At the moment I get out of breath from a light 2 minute jog, but it’s one of my goals for this year. Also, if you haven’t tried it, Kala Namak Salt (Indian black salt) gives food a really eggy flavour, it‘s awesome in tofu scramble or on avocado toast!
I recognize my self so much in what you are saying. :) especially about the lipbalm and how important the music is. For some reason I can't stand the sound of my own footsteps. I'm not a runner, instead I'll do quick walks because that suites me better. In my play list I vary fast music that give me a quick tempo and "slower" songs (like Bruce Springsteen Glory days) to get a longer step. Love your videos =D
I use an app called "aaptiv" which is the same thing as couch to 5k in the sense someone is talking you through it telling you what to do. you click on running outside and they have different levels of fitness and it also comes w the music the instructor has picked. only thing is you have to pay, but totally worth it. I personally love the treadmill and I use apptiv for the treadmill. good luck!
#MondayMotivation that I needed. I’m assuming Joe’s vegan as well. That tofu scramble looks good, but I don’t really like tofu. Hear mixed reviews. Is there any alternatives?
Keep whatever you are bringing along down to a minimum, it'll just get in the way. There are belt bags and small backpacks specifically for running, I personally prefer those loads over things like armbands. As for water bottles: I've seen many runners just hold them!
I buy the generic gf brown bread from Lidl and I find that’s great, but you have to toast it! If I want fresh bread I bake an oat yoghurt loaf (you’ll find a recipe for it online). But yeah gf sucks :/ personally I just don’t eat fresh bread. I don’t find it appetizing anymore. (I’m a celiac btw)
I really wish you'd stop using the word vegan in your titles/videos. You eat plant-based, not vegan, if you were vegan you wouldn't buy makeup with animal products in, makeup that's been tasted on animals or buy items made of suede or leather all of which you regularly do. I get that you eat mostly plant based which is GREAT, so just say that.
I used ‘vegan’ in the title here, as although I do not define myself as one for the reasons you’ve detailed, the food I’m making and eating in this video is still technically vegan, and using this word in the title makes it more discoverable for those looking for vegan food inspiration.

Elisa Ghiringhelli yes I completely agree
Exactly. It's like, anyone who likes running and does it often is a runner. What's the big deal with calling yourself a "runner"

Laura Palmer I’ve heard of that app too
I've started running at the beginning of the year and hit a bit of a lull last week of feeling rubbish about it. This made me feel so much better thanks Alix x
Did my first run with the Couch to 5K app after watching this video! Thank you for the much needed motivation to just do it!
Literally the video I was looking for! C25k and plant based life style 😍 Subbed x

You look A-MAZING without makeup! (And great with it too of course, just wanted to mention!)

Hey Alix! The Nike zoom are really nice running shoes! Highly recommend ! Love this video!
Sarah Cowley oooh yeah!
What about the best bras for running?

Just did my first couch 2 5k run and am pretty happy with myself! Thanks for the tips !
There’s also a couch to 5k plus which I’ve been using and is very good! I’d recommend using that once you’ve finished 😊 xx
All the food looked delish!

Where do you buy that salt Lena? Sounds awesome
@@hihowyadoin3433 Amazon! It is :)
Best advice for new runners: Get your shoes fitted! It will help you IMMENSELY!
That egg scramble looked so good 💋
My favorite so far 💗 you are such a sweetheart 💗💗💗
Anyone else on Strava? Let's be friends! 😁🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️
i doing the Couch to 5k now and i'm loving it. Just started week 5

Yaiza24J sameeee
Loved the foodie part

You are so great to listen to and are really inspiring 👍x
Where do you put your phone while you’re running? Do you use an arm band?
How do you secure your phone during your run?
This was so helpful!
There's a similar app called Zombies Run (also a 5k version) which gamifies the training and is super fun!
Loved it! Can you please do a video on your fav makeup brushes?
Brilliant !!
Does anyone have any apps similar to these on android? Struggling to find something that seems as good, but they're only available on iphone :(
Which apps do you mean? I have an android and there is an app 'couch to 5k & 10k'. I've been using it for the past month and really like it.
Very inspirational 😘 x
#MondayMotivation that I needed. I’m assuming Joe’s vegan as well. That tofu scramble looks good, but I don’t really like tofu. Hear mixed reviews. Is there any alternatives?
Try using mushrooms to any mix of fresh vegetables you like and make a hash.
I think couch to 5k could get almost anyone running!
Bring back Subtitles for Joe plz😊
Yes you used a keep cup!!!! 🙌🙌❤
Ts M yayy
Where did you get your phone case
Was the black Nike trainer link meant to go to the men's range of shoes?
You remind me of drew barrymore ❤️
Weird q, but what do you do with your keys when you run?
MissGrace4 I was thinking that. And your phone do you just hold it? 🤷🏼♀️
Most running pants have small zipper pockets. 😊
Fran zi oh do they? Great thank you x
Tie them between your shoe laces! On the front of your shoe.
You can get running belts for cheap too :)
Are you intolerant to gluten?
A question to runners: how do you carry your phone/water bottle/keys/wallet, etc?
Keep whatever you are bringing along down to a minimum, it'll just get in the way. There are belt bags and small backpacks specifically for running, I personally prefer those loads over things like armbands. As for water bottles: I've seen many runners just hold them!
@@Time2Begin Thanks for the tips!
Some leggings have hidden pockets in the back, I've seen these in some Primark ones but also Sweaty Betty and Lululemon
Where do you live in London that you're afraid to go out alone at night?!
Do you have different running Outfits for every season?
Cooook guuuuuzeeeeel 🙏🌷🤲🌷🙌🌷💖🌷💘🌷💙🌷👍🌷🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
I hate the GF bread with all my heart. Ugh and I'm sensitive to gluten and I cannot find a good tasting bread -.-

@@SweetasSugar42 Thank you. I think I´ll try the self-made one :)
what about yesterdays video???

You seem to eat healthy, why are you overweight ?🧐
