Before you hit the pavement, take five minutes to mobilize your hips and ankles. It changes everything for your confidence and comfort on the road. ### Building Your Run Girl Era Returning to running after years away taught me that the biggest barrier isn't physical stamina. It is the mental pressure to hit a certain pace or distance. When I started my journey, I had to unlearn the idea that running needed to look a certain way to be valid. ### Why the Warm-Up Matters Most runners treat the warm-up as an optional step. For me, it is the non-negotiable foundation. Prepping your body and calming your nervous system before you run ensures you are moving with intent rather than just burning through energy. Think of it as signalling to your body that it is time to perform. ### Hydration is Your Secret Weapon I cannot stress this enough—hydrate, kittens. Hydration is not just about drinking water when you are thirsty. It is about maintaining your electrolyte balance pre and post-run so your muscles can recover effectively. If you are training in the Bengaluru heat, this becomes even more critical for your endurance. ### Focus on Consistency, Not Speed Stop chasing the pace. The goal is to show up consistently, gently, and fully. Whether you are running a 1km loop in Domlur or training for an event, every run tells a different story. If you feel discouraged, remember that progress is not linear. Some days will be fast, some will be slow, and all of them are a win because you showed up for yourself. ## About Sheri Peri I am Sheri.
