RUNNING WITH RACHAEL NEWSHAM… THIS IS HOW YOU START STRONG!

This month I decided to take running seriously and looked for a program that would be both effective and fun. That’s when, to my surprise and delight, I discovered Les Mills Run. Is there anything Les Mills+ doesn’t have?! 😁

And the best part? The very first session is with Rachael Newsham. How cool is that? Rach as my personal trainer! What a privilege. 😏👌🏾

She starts by calling it “That thing called running!” and right then I knew this adventure was going to be fun. 😅
I intentionally listened to the audio for the first time while running and OMG… I was in for a surprise. The music choice was perfect for the excitement and really kept me going. 🎶🔥

Rachael is brilliant at describing the moves. She’ll say things like, ‘That kind of walk you do when you’ve got somewhere to be!’ 🙌🏾 It feels like she’s running right beside us. 🤗

I expected just some light running for the first session, but oh boy… You walk, you jog, you sprint… and then you BURST! 🔥 And honestly, it almost made me burst into tears of joy — because I gave my all and finished proud. 🙌🏾

She kept us pushing forward, asking us to repeat the word “SUCCESS”. And it truly was! My RPE was a solid 10! I honestly felt like dying at the end. 😅

Rach, the music, the run, and that rush of breaking limits… what an absolutely FANTASTIC combo! 💥

Now I’m beyond excited because there’s a lineup of Les Mills star instructors waiting to personally train me in “this thing called running.” 😏🤭
