Thanks to long-term Joy Runner, Sam Waugh (@samuelwaugh9), for this week’s theme idea.

Not everybody is an early bird, but the benefits of squeezing in a run first thing are many.

In Sam’s own words:

“Morning running is the dream of running. The air is fresh, you’re feeling refreshed and the day is new. 

“Morning running is starting the day in the right foot. Ticking off the first task of the day and kick starting the day ahead.”

This Week’s Run Theme: Morning Runs 🌄

Put a spring in your step by starting the day with a run. 

A morning run sets the tone for the day, giving you a sense of accomplishment before anyone else is even awake.

You’ll also be rewarded with empty streets, epic sunrises, plus the post-run pastries are fresher. Morning runs are also proven to benefit your sleep, mood, productivity and fitness too.

And if you’re anything like me, your motivation to run is highest with the full day ahead of you, waning as the day goes on.

As always, don’t forget to take a picture of your run and tag in Joy Runs on Instagram 📸

We’ve moved to .com 🎊

You may have noticed Joy Runs recently made the leap from .co to .com. We’re growing up!

Having made our own website using a fantastic website builder, Elementor, we wanted to give them a shout out. It costs about £10 per month, total, including hosting and our own shop. Bargain!

If you’re sitting on a little idea of your own, check it out. It’s so simple to use, I promise if I can drag and drop my way to a good looking website, so can you.

Happy running 💛
