Em Parker - Running Everyday

@beshortrunultra Spring can take its time—I’m here for the winter warrior vibes! ❄️💪 That hill pyramid sounds brutal (in the best way).

Who's ready for Spring?! 🙌🏻 I'm still enjoying the snow, but I'm not a cold weather person. Strength Endurance Hill Repeats Pyramid Run EZ 2 mi warmup 30, 60, 90, 90, 60, 30 sec mod/hard effort hill repeats x 5 squat jumps at the top, then run back down EZ to finish The hill gets steeper up around the bend. 😁 495 ft elevation gain... I should have ran to 5 miles and would have easily gotten over 500. 5° F, partly sunny Snow and ice, so I wore my trail shoes with Yaktrax. Happy running! . . . . #finishstrongermindsetcoaching #winterrunning #ultratraining #100miletraining #happyrunning #happyrunner #hillrepeats #optoutside #trailrunner #trailandultra #trailrunninglife #motherrunner #runningmotivation #ultrarunningmom #ultrarunnersofinstagram #runstrong #stravarun #runrunrun #iloverunning #runyourworld #runandlift #runmore #plantbasedrunner

@dpolehn That’s a solid threshold session! Love the mindset—choosing to suffer in training makes everything else feel easier. Dialing in race pace now is going to pay off big on race day.

First threshold workout of this training block. 4x8minutes @ ~4:40 / km With less than a month to race day, going to shift gears to dialing in race pace. Somehow the suffering we choose makes the suffering we don't choose more bearable. Have a great weekend!

@iamroyalkay_ Nothing like a solid 10K to shake off the exhaustion!

Life is tiring but let’s sweat it out…⚡️ Friday morning run 10km ✔️ #FetchYourBody2025 #IPaintedMyRun #Strava

@runner_mt Tough call! 😅 If it's been a brutal week, I choose sleep 💤—a rested body runs better. But if I’ve got a little energy left, even a short shakeout run helps reset my mind. Gotta find that balance!

Question to all the busy runners If life comes in the way, do you prioritize sleep or working out? Do you go for a run at 11pm or just straight to bed to be fully rested the next day? Asking for a friend 😉

Some days it’s fast, some days it’s slow, but every day, we run!

@run_claire Love a good basement grind! Happy Thursday!

Today’s 5 miles brought to you by your fitness addict from the comfort of her basement 😂 Happy Thursday #fitfam #runningmom #runchat #running

@CarilynJohnson 23 miles?! Absolute beast mode.

23 miles. Roads + TM. Recovery frittata (followed by a Hershey bar).

@sallymcrae 🔥🔥 THIS. Running isn’t about looking a certain way—it’s about showing up, pushing yourself, and proving what your body can do. 💪🏃‍♀️ The finish line doesn’t care what size you are, and neither do we. Lace up & let’s go!

It’s ok that I don’t look like a typical competitive endurance runner. I LOVE THAT ABOUT MYSELF because it’s invited many women into the sport who used to believe they needed to have a certain build to sign up for a race. Skinny, muscular, big frame, petite frame…doesn’t matter. What matters is whether or not YOU have a desire to run. That’s it. If you wanna run, join me- your body is perfect for YOU 💪💪 #strengthandlove

Day 1 of running: Everything hurts. Day 365 of running: Everything still hurts but in a good way.

You can be sore tomorrow or sorry tomorrow. The choice is yours. #motivation #running

Finishing a #marathon is a state of mind that says anything is possible!

The answer to the big questions in running is the same as the answer to the big questions in life: Do the best with what you've got!

Ask yourself: 'Can I give more?'. The answer is usually: 'Yes'. #extramile #running #motivation

It hurts up to a point and then it doesn't get any worse. #marathontips #training

The biggest mistake an athlete can make is to be afraid of making one #running #motivation

Tomorrow is another day, and there will be another battle! #running #motivation

Human beings are made up of flesh and blood, and a miracle fiber called courage. #running #motivation #courage

Most people run a race to see who is fastest. I run a race to see who has the most guts. #running #motivation #doyourbest

I succeed on my own personal motivation, dedication, commitment. My mindset is: If I'm not out there training, someone else is. #running

Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it. #running #motivation
