Have completely forgotten to update the forms and packet but here we are the last day of the challenge! Today was hybrid so a mixture of cardio and resistance… I really struggled to wake up this morning, as you can see here my reaction was very slow 😂 But hope everyone has been having more restful holidays and keeping up with the exercise!

To combat gloomy grey days, I find that colourful flowers help lift my mood and brighten up my indoor space. If you're in need of a last push to the end of our #30for30 challenge, here's a bunch for you!

So happy to be home with some fresh air and countryside and went for a great 5km run with a good school friend!

I didn't manage to get a photo on the run, but here is a great view from the train that I love to see when I'm coming home, makes me excited for sea swimming!

As promised, some terrible serves with some very candid camera work. Great to get out in the rain yesterday and have a little hit. The sun even came out towards the end of the session, with rainbows silhouetted across the sky - it was beautiful.

Building up to the end of our #30for30 challenge, I thought I would challenge myself for completing my first ever park run. I was definitely nervous but managed to meet my goal of 'not stopping fora 5k' and ultimately my PB (28:55). Am told I "finished in 238th place and were the 75th Female out of a field of 349 parkrunners and you came 9th in your age category..."

Thanks to Martha, we had a fantastic group workout session at Regent's Park today. We caught the beautiful sunset, was rained on briefly, and had a few laughs along the way. Thank you team for motivating me to 'keep up' with you all as we edge closer to our third (new) goal of £1000! Thanks Isabelle also for leading on this great initiative, Jasmine, Jordan, and Isil for doing it all with big smiles! 👍 💪

Starting to lose track of what I’ve logged and what I haven’t yet… work’s getting more hectic but I always love a morning workout! Lots of weights and full body pain, but I love pushing myself and trying more challenging weights every time! Also feels great to be lifting similar to the guys next to me 🤣

Wasn't feeling it today but got out to the West Reservoir. Said hi to some moorhens...before it started to rain. The lasted for about an hour. Freezing water. But lots of people going in for a cold swim in their wetsuits.

Thank you  Martha for the 'weather forecast' ❤️ in the email today. I couldn't believe that it would be sunny after a full morning of grey and gloomy weather. Glad I went out when I did. These magnolias were too pretty not to stop and capture on camera. Have a great start to the weekend everyone! 💪💙

With my personal pacer tonight, I managed to reach my PB. Though exhausted by the end of it, I was happy to have seen 3 foxes and a cat 😻 on my run 🏃‍♀ tonight. Knees a bit sore but worth it. Let's keep it up! 💪 Looking forward to our Regent's Park workout!

Great 30km ride around Windsor! I'm training for a triathlon in July and this challenge is really helping me to be more accoutable for my training since I'm no longer part of a sports club. Was so great to feel some early springtime sun!!

Well done everyone for doing so well in this challenge so far! Keep consuming lots of protein and recovering properly after training sessions, especially if you are exercising more as part of this challenge than you normally would. I recommend Lidl's protein yoghurts if you aren't keen on protein shakes!

Had a lovely jog at Regent's Park yesterday and took this photo coz it looked so BEAUTIFUL!!! Can't wait for spring to come so we can see more of that London sun :D

Left the house only for the second time today but I made it count! Running towards the wind and uphill was super tough. Think I need better music recs to keep me moving.

What's on your playlist that will energise me? 🎶

Brisk walked 1.5h alongside many bikes on the towpath to see my old team row! As per tradition in the Cambridge Lent Bumps, the weather is pretty gloomy (but much better yesterday already!) and the river is full of carnage (as you can see the pink blade boat is almost caught by the other boat). It was so much fun walking around all day and cheering for my friends!

Did you know that I am an aspiring pilates instructor? This summer, I had a chance to complete the first module (out of 6 + an exam, so long way to go... maybe too ambitious to say aspiring :) on mat and reformer pilates! I have been doing pilates for more than 3.5 years now and it's been a huge part of my life.

Every week, I have two online sessions with my instructor back home. Knowing the principles behind the movements is a such a big help especially when we are doing it online!

I would definitely recommend giving it a shot if you haven't yet! Let me know if you do!

Today was stressful. Lots of back-to-back meetings. 15min lunch. Only had "12 steps" according to my phone! Thanks to you guys, my lovely lab, I forced myself to go out for a run even though it was slippery, cold, and wet. As I was running, my ankle starte hurtimg but I counted "my 3 blessings" ❤️:  1) we just exceeded our donation goal, 👍   2) Tian/Lily ran a fantastic 'blue sky' seminar  👍, 3) I have a yummy tiramisu waiting for me in the fridge tonight 👍  💙 😀.  All is better. Although it wasn't my PB, I had fun running and completed my #30for30 challenge of the day so I feel very proud. Hope you are all enjoying your evening!

Recently, I’ve signed up for a membership at Frame which lets me join unlimited workout classes! This was really helpful for me looking to complete this challenge because I could just join a class daily and just follow along. I’m really grateful to this challenge for giving me the push to sign up for an exercise membership and giving me the chance to find out that I really enjoyed it. I had never done this before because I never considered myself as an athletic person but I think this challenge has helped me let go of some of those negative feelings surrounding being bad at sport or exercise. It’s made me realise that as long as I’m trying to do exercise every day that’s enough and I can go at my own pace. :)

Everytime I fall sick I forget how much running does for my mental health - what a relief to be able to start again!

Slowly building up my distance and getting back to proper pace. Grateful for this challenge holding me accountable :))

50 minute session in the gym today, including some box squats, lunges and core work.

I used to want to always 'feel' strong, and then I realised that this attitude makes me feel dejected on days when I feel less strong.

Today was a less strong day where I hadn't fuelled myself enough to train, but I still reflected on how lucky I am to be able to take time to go to the gym and lift a few weights.

Well done everyone on this challenge so far, and keep going!

Had a bit of a stressful day today. Lots of meetings. Despite teaching a session on mental health and art with staff and PhD students at the bartlett school (and was told I missed the snow ❄️!) I was relieved to go for a brisk walk/run around my old stomping ground. Stumbled upon thos gorgeous tree that is in full bloom! 😍

Does anyone know the name of this tree?

Today I was stationary until the evening where I took a long stroll too and from Brentford stadium! Got the 10k steps in. Keep going everhone!

I usually take a day away from training on Mondays when I have an evening class, but this means that I am often sedentary for the whole day. My body is therefore appreciative that I decided to walk from Waterloo to IOE for my evening class today!

This challenge has shown me so far where I can find more opportunities to be active, and I hope it has for all of you as well! :)

I didn't have too much time today so I decided to make a simple change to my routine of walking to and from UCL instead of taking the tube. It was a great choice despite the slightly nippy weather because I got to stop by a bookshop, get some fresh air and avoid the busy trains. My walk ended up being approx 5 km so even small changes can make a difference!

First run in two weeks so was tough but glad to have got it done!

I never bring my phone to class so keep forgetting to take a pic for Padlet! But today they talked me on instagram again 😂 I feel like leg day is always painful because my Thursday I’m quite sore everywhere, but it’s super empowering to see so many strong women in my gym! Happy (late) international women’s day to all the strong women in our lab ❤️🔥

Thought I’d kick off this thread by saying how lovely The Wong Lab is and how grateful I am to be a part of this team 🥰 This is such a meaningful challenge and I look forward to exercising and fundraising lots!

A bit of explanation… today was lower body weights so it was quite tough. I have no idea why I look so smiley in this video because my legs and glutes are screaming at me right now 😅
