This week’s run theme is courtesy of Rachel (@rach.does.hyrox). Thanks for the suggestion!

We’ve also created a little article on the most joyful things about running and our top tips for squeezing more enjoyment out of every step - from slowing down to see more to fully appreciating every season. Let us know if you can suggest any other running highs.

This Week’s Theme: Skyline 🌇

When was the last time you looked up on a run?

Not just a passing glance, but to mentally raise your gaze from the grind to the goal and see a different side of life.

Every skyline tells a different story. A silhouette of roof tops, where treetops meet the endless blue, or fantasy skylines created in golden hour. Skylines remind us that beauty isn’t just in the spectacular, but in the seen. It’s an invitation to notice, to daydream, and to run with a new sense of appreciation.

So, this week, run with your head up. Trace the edge where earth meets sky and snap away at anything that catches your eye.
