Full ArticleMotivate 2021 is here!
We know it's pretty tough to stay motivated at the moment, so we have a plan! We are currently posting on Facebook and Instagram, training sessions delivered by each one of the RtW Team. Each guide has different goals, so whether you are struggling to get out the door, dealing with an injury or want to become a stronger runner, there will be something for you! Plus we are posting up a weekly trail running strength and conditioning session that can be done at home and only needs 15 minutes of your time!
Need more motivation? Why not sign up to our 5km trail running training program for improvers. Just drop us an email with the message “Send me a 5km plan” to receive it.
We've also launched our new Motivate 2021 RtW Tech T-Shirt available in the Shop, it's a great way of committing to the journey and looking ace on the trails!
2021 is the year to…
- change your perspective
- look after yourself
- look after each other
- and stay focussed
Join the Run the Wild Guides in their different training plans for 2021...
We also have some free mini strength & conditioning programs here which are great for getting you fit for the trails:
So let's do this together! Stay safe, stay active, stay positive! Love Team RtW
We've just released a short video about trail running in the Alps, we hope it inspires you to hit the trails in 2021! You can check it out on our YouTube or Facebook channel.
