You’ve completed some of the toughest weeks of training! The long runs are longer. The legs are heavier. Event Day is getting closer. 

So this International Women’s Day, here are a few reminders you might need from our friends at Runna.

 

TRUST WHAT YOUR BODY TELLS YOU

When training feels heavier than usual, allow yourself to adjust. Reshuffle the week. Take extra recovery. That isn’t losing momentum, it’s protecting it.

That’s exactly what Runna’s Not Feeling 100% feature takes care of. When life gets busy or your energy dips, you decide how to adapt – and we’ll take care of the rest, protecting your progress while putting your wellbeing first. 

YOU’RE NEVER DOING THIS ALONE

Grit runs through Manchester, and it runs through you, too. On event day, you’ll stand shoulder to shoulder with thousands of inspiring women. You’re part of that. 

Nearly 20,000 runners are training with Runna for the adidas Manchester Marathon. Join the community, share event-day tips, celebrate wins and step into  the collective energy of the Women’s Running Space.

THIS PHASE IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST MILES

Recovery is more important than ever now. It’s where real progress happens, your body adapts, rebuilds and gets stronger. 

Incorporating active recovery sessions boosts recovery, strength, and range of motion. Runna’s Pilates, Yoga and Stretch sessions give your body what it needs to absorb training and come back stronger.

TOGETHER, WE GO FURTHER

If you ever doubted you’d get this far, here you are – showing up in the hardest weeks. That’s big. This International Women’s Day, celebrate what you’re capable of.

Runna is here to guide you all the way to event day.
