How lululemon global run ambassador daddydark's 5-minute exercise makes all the difference.
So, when the going gets tough, how can you keep on moving through the struggle? Charlie Dark, Lululemon global run ambassador, has an excellent trick — and his advice is something every runner can use, whether you're setting out on your first 5K or out to add to your collection of marathon medals.
In the morning, read the piece of paper again. Then, during the race — in the moment or moments when you find yourself tired, hurting, or mentally spiraling — call to mind that person and the reason you run for them. As Charlie says:"Run toward the people you love." I tested it out for myself on the morning of the half marathon. With two miles left, I was trying to push for the final stretch, and it was starting to hurt. But I thought of my person — okay, my person was my dog — and just focusing on him put a smile on my face and helped power me over the finish line with a sense of joy and purpose. I'll definitely be breaking out the pen and paper before my next race and putting Charlie's tip to use again.
