Thank you!! :3 I followed you back, dear. :)

As for advice, all I can suggest is you push yourself faster when you sprint. Work on decreasing your time within the same distance. Also, sprinting uphill against resistance will help you gain strength to spring faster.

As for long distance, that comes with practice. The more you run long distance the more endurance you gain. Also with distance, you can’t exert yourself hard. You need to pace yourself and figure out which stride suites you best that won’t exhaust you.

I hope this helps! :)

Why are you ashamed to go run alongside people? Especially when it’s people you don’t know? Trust me, no one is looking at you or caring that you’re doing your own thing girl. 

Start off walking for a few days. And then when you get more comfortable with people being around you, jog. 

There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed, embarrassed  or feel self conscious about. Everyone starts somewhere! Don’t allow yourself to make silly excuses that prevent you from doing something you have a passion and desire for. :)

It depends how much school work you have. You don’t need to workout 6x a week for 1-2 hours each day. That’s a bit overwhelming and can be stressful when you feel like you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO workout. Ya know? 

I suggest picking workout days on days when you don’t have as much schoolwork to do. Weekends are great for this. On a Saturday just spend 1-2 hours outside walking around or riding your bike. If you have a track, jog on it. If you live in the city, explore the shoppes. You’ll enjoy it more than being couped up indoors or inside a gym.

You can do pilates/yoga inside your home during the week. Go to bed an hour earlier, wake up an hour earlier so you have the house to yourself and just do a quick workout in the morning before school. It will wake you up and relax you so you’re not as stressed out. 

Stick to 2-3 days of working out and focus on a clean diet. If you can get to a gym, even better.

Hell, you’re in high school. Stay after school and use their weight room. Schools typically provide busses to take you home afterward. 

Honestly, you can turn any space into a good workout. Your bedroom, your backyard. You just need initiative. There’s no such things as a “good” or “bad” workout as long as you push yourself to improve each time. Go longer, faster, harder per rep. 

Get a jump rope. Jump anywhere.

Get a bike. Bike anywhere.

Get roller blades/skates. Skate anywhere.

Yoga, in your room. In the garage. In the living room. On the kitchen counter… loljk. Or maybe ;) Outside.. etc.

Jogging/running/squats/lunges/hopping/sprinting/walking/running up and down stadium steps

Lifting weights

The options are endless. Just workout when you have time. Doing something closer to home will increase the chances of you working out than driving to a gym. Hope this helps. :)
