How does the Beats campaign’s message for encouraging the youth to go outside to better their mental state align with your experience as a young woman training for the London marathon?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Anna: It’s not only a message I advocate for but it also aligns perfectly with my experiences especially training for this marathon, as training for a marathon is not only a physical challenge it’s also a mental and emotional challenge as well. The campaign stresses how the outdoors can be healing for both the mind and body. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What impact would you say that the Beats earphones have on your training routine especially when it comes to your focus and drive?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Anna: My earphones are my running partner! The hypnotic sound quality and the wireless feature allow me to have freedom in my movement and for my focus to only be my running. I have a playlist that I carefully crafted that io solely use when training that helps me stay motivated, empowered and in my zone. This playlist created a space where I can push myself to reach my goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why do you think it’s important for young people in particular young athletes training to achieve a specific goal like yourself to spend time outdoors as a part of a routine for their mental health?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Anna: From my experiences, I can say that training to compete in a marathon is extremely stressful at times and can become a bit overwhelming. For anyone else training to achieve or compete in something, they should go outdoors as it provides a calm and refreshing backdrop and since our mental health is intertwined with the environment we immerse ourselves in going outside can be a positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you tell me of a time when you struggled with your mental health during your training?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Anna: There were many challenges during my time training, at times it would be really draining and I lacked motivation. There was one time in particular when I hit a mental wall whilst on this extremely exhausting run. So I decided to go on a different route where I ran alongside the river themes with my music on. This was a nice scenic change which helped re-energize me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What impact do you think this campaign will have on influencing the younger generation, especially the youth of today who are participating in something both physically and mentally challenging? \u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Anna: The campaign promotes and encourages a way of life that puts mental and physical well-being first. Especially the younger people who are pushing their limits in a physical journey such as a marathon Beats is offering them a way to improve that journey and give themselves a better overall experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
