Running is hard! It’s fun, it’s sweaty and there’s a lot of people that don’t ‘get’ running. And you’re probably here because you do ‘get’ running, you’re probably a runner, and you probably want to see some inspiring, real and funny quotes that will hit home with you..
Here’s a few of my favorite running quotes and sayings
“I run because I can.” Because not everyone is blessed to be physically able to run.
“Running is my happy place.” Because I feel happy when I run. It’s the runner’s high.
“Run your own race.” Because sometimes it’s just about putting one foot in front of the other, not necessarily trying to get a personal best. Don’t compare yourself.
“Running is a journey, not a destination.” This reminds us to enjoy the process of running, rather than solely focusing on the end goal.
“Find your rhythm and let it carry you.” Enjoy the feeling and sound of your feet hitting the floor and bouncing back off. Find a great rhythm, it feels incredible. You can only really experience that once you’ve been for a run.This emphasizes the importance of finding a comfortable and sustainable pace.
“Running is my way of saying ‘I’m still alive.'” Me, Katie McDonald. If things are tough, running is a way of saying to yourself, “no, I can do this, things will be okay, this is all temporary, but life is good!”.
