getting back into running can be HARD (so let’s do it together)

[@oliviaatherton8982]

Anna upload day = favourite day

[@AnnaArcherFitness]

your support means so much thank you ❤

[@evamorais2762]

I always love how transparent you are and it's so interesting seeing you figure out things ahah

[@setbhvj]

What really helps me stay consistent with my running is I joined an athletics association, so I run in a group on set times. The people in the group have really become my friends so it's so fun to train together!

[@tawwy7844]

ANNA!!! doing my art prep and i felt like i’d exhausted all of youtube so thank you so much it makes me so happy when you post!!

[@nics.panacci9975]

Ugh I love this Anna !! Just signed up for a half marathon hehe

[@Foxykkj]

You're so inspiring I think stopping for a while and being able to start running again shows a lot of resilience I wish I was like this. I'd love to get back into my fitness era and start running also, but I get a lot of anxiety about it like people are judging me or it's bad if I have to stop. Do you have any tips to try and stop thinking like this?

[@kyleebingham7978]

Hey, I'm trying to get back into running as well! I try not to think about how others view me because I'm doing what's best for ME. Whether it's taking a hot girl walk 30 seconds after I start or pushing through the pain. Running makes me feel good and really brings out the best in me!

[@nunuchaa]

This is a month late but when running outside I like to run during times when I usually don’t see people outside (which I found out by walking at various times to scope it out). Another trick is to wear a university jersey or hoodie and act like I’m some athlete doing a run (even if I don’t look it haha)

[@AshleyBitton]

I’m so glad you’re doing this Anna because I’ve started running again too and I’ve found my love for it again! It’s so much different when you’re doing it to feel good and for yourself and not to earn food for aesthetic reason. Really so awesome! You go girl! Sending lots of love and support from LA! xoxo 😘🥰🫶❤️💕

[@erikadalcortivo4034]

such positive vibes, thank you!!!

[@bethanysmith7927]

that night time stretching looks so nourishing for the body and soul😍 how do you know where to stretch and what your body needs when you’re so sleepy?! because i always end up falling half asleep when trying to stretch at night lol

[@dariajestem777]

omg yes!!! im agreeing so much with that when you said that running makes you care about your nutrition and body even more. it can make you see how much your body can do!!! im also balancing gym and run and yoga and everything i love!!!! in the past it woulx be ,,perfect" opportunity to lose weight, but now i just love to eat! i love how much energy i have beacuse of eating so much! love it!!!♥️♥️♥️

[@xolissiep9174]

Anna I just want to say thank you so so much for all the content you put out on all your platforms. You’ve really helped me grow and develop as a person, and I’ve been able to show so much more love and compassion to myself in the past year. I’ve recently lost my running mojo as well, but today I went on my first 10K run, ran it slowly and honestly it was my favourite run I’ve ever been on and I can’t wait to follow your running journey in the future alongside my own❤

[@sophie-zr4zo]

I'd love to see a vid on your stretching routinee

[@Jaragreene]

I lost my running mojo too 2 weeks ago & i’m about to get back on the treadmill today… i have no plan just gonna get to the gym and hope for the best

[@VirtualTrailRunning]

Hi Jara! You might like my channel for treadmill running scenery 🏃‍♀️

[@helenrosechapman]

i feel like running and working out has helped me eat more as a person whos suffered from anorexia for a long time and now that im working out to feel good and not as a punishment it makes me want to eat more so i perform better and feel better i look forward to running and lifting weights i look forward to that stuff now i dont dread it every single day and procrastinate it.

[@i_h2081]

So interesting... if I don’t want a steady run and want a quick or more interesting one I love an interval run so much, I love running but since recovery I don’t run before breakfast like I used to which was so easy to do without thinking but now I have to try later in day but as I enjoy it I find it relatively easy... also because like you I am learning it’s ok to slow down and not just go go go with every free moment!

[@kimberlykroemer2755]

I use Runna for my half marathon training and I’ve loved it!! Threw me for a loop having Ben in your video hahahah

[@AnnaArcherFitness]

yay!! glad you like it, it's so good x

[@Poppyhatherall]

Totally agree with you on the two workouts! I used to do it and believed it was normal 7 times a week! I was crazy 😅😅😅

[@jalenfowler1660]

that yoga flow looked so peaceful 💜

[@lizmaciocio]

Such a comforting and safe space✨💜

[@cristinal9212]

u running on the spot in ur apartment made my day HAHA

[@constancemee8640]

I’m a swimmer and I’ve really lost my mojo at the moment so this is a really helpful in a relatability way ❤

[@liv405]

i love running at like 11. it’s super quiet and i have time in the morning to let my food digest and read

[@julias3111]

I don‘t know you but seven minutes into the video I LOVE YOU I relate to the struggles so hard

[@amberangel8510]

[@Vertigooftheera]

Girl👊🏻❤️ I really proud of you and l enjoy watching your videos!❤️❤️

[@user-yj5wj1uw6u]

i love this 🫶

[@gwilymeades]

Are you on Strava? By the way, I love that you talk to your brain. In a philosophy book I read, the 'little man' in your brain that controls it is called a homunculus. Great energy!

[@bethaneydunne9682]

Hi Anna love the Video Keep it up you can do it 100% support you and channel 👍❤️😊

[@ShatteredDream]

Off topic question for you Anna but here goes: How do you deal with the pressure of fufilling your potential whilst also being kind to yourself?

[@WanderNars]

I can walk but can’t run but you inspire me

[@mayharvey4551]

Where is your jewellery from Anna? Do you wear it to exercise/shower? Looking for something I can keep on most of the time!

[@mollybrown6461]

I really like just doing my run then finishing in the gym and walking home, but am quite lucky that the gym is only a 10 min walk away!

[@niamh9]

Hi Anna, what Hokas would you reccomend for running? xx

[@louloudelaney9764]

NO WAY HI BEN!!!! So cool to put a person's face to the app! I cannot wait for my marathon in 8 weeks!!!

[@jemimabean]

I love this💛

[@bretstevens262]

Keep getting after! Love Mel Robbins!

[@caroline.isabel]
