Linda Sun

I’m 23. I live with my parents & I’m in no rush to move out. currently, my job is doing social media and my social life is non-existent. my only friends are my mom, my dog and my stray animals 🐱. I can’t remember the last time I went out on a Friday night. I actually like being single. I love travelling but I’m a homebody so 95% of my life looks like this. i love running and reading and baking and snacking and re-watching my favourite movies and shows. nothing about my life is “aesthetic”- not my my meals or my room or my outfits. I often wonder if I’m weird or abnormal or if other people will like me but then I remember, I like me (which hasn’t always been the case) and I’ve actually never been happier, and I’ve decided that matters more. Idk I love this boring, quiet, peaceful, unhurried life 🐰🏃‍♀️🍚📚🔋

MY NEXT MARATHON IS… so so so so grateful for @runna for giving me the chance to run and making my running dreams come true 🥹 It felt like fate because I was already training with the Runna app (influenced by literally every running content creator) and loving it- and then they messaged me and I was like NO WAY THIS IS HAPPENING 😭😭😭😭 you can try out Runna in the link in my bio and use code LINDA for 2 weeks free!! we are officially 110 days out so let the RUNNING BEGIN 🥳🫶🏻🏃🏻‍♀️ guys. I’m a wizard 🧙🏻😭🤩🥳🥹🇬🇧

my shortest long run of marathon training!! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️that was fuelled with the most superior pre-run snack: tanghulu 😙 feeling so very grateful that I have a body that allows me to witness so many special moments in random corners of the world. I never fail to see something that makes me smile on my runs 🥹 running is such a gift. also- oh man. running at higher altitude is NO JOKE. I didn’t think it would have THAT drastic of an effect. It’s like my body forgot how to run?? & BREATHE??🤣 btw I’m using the @runna app to train (can use code LINDA for a 2 week free trial yay!!

A FUELED (& hydrated) RUNNER IS A HAPPY RUNNER!! all the goodies that helped me run those 21kms of torturous hills😅 lots of people say that you don’t need to carb load before a half marathon and while I didn’t carb load as hardcore as I did for my full marathon, I was more “carb-focused” (making sure I have carbs in every meal and ate more carbs than usual). Personally, I feel like topping up on carbs settles my nerves and makes me feel as if I’m doing my part to prep my body for the run. everyone will have different opinions and bodies- remember to listen to YOURS!! you always deserve delicious food 🫶🏻 happy running ily

SUPER hilly half-mararthon in hong kong!! I spontaneously booked this half and it ended up being a very small race in the mountains with I think less than 200 (VERY strong) runners and I LOVED IT. This may have been the most beautiful route I have ever had the privilege of running. I FELT SO FREE & HAPPY & IN MY ELEMENT. this was my 2nd half marathon and my first time experiencing rolling hills. these hills = pure death. The first 3 kms were all completely uphill and it was the longest 3 kms of my life. my legs wanted to give up by 2 km. total elevation gain was ~280 meters or like 920 feet. legs were destroyed but had SO MUCH FUN. THANK YOU BODY FOR LETTING ME EXPERIENCE THIS 🥹 post-run pineapple bun (& avocado) with mother sun may have been the best part <3 how I fuelled: caffeinated gel 20 mins before start, normal gel @ 7km, caf gel @ 12km, normal gel @ 17 km how I trained: with @runna training plan (can use code LINDA for a 2 week free trial yay!! link in bio) watch: @corosglobal pace 3 shorts + shirt: @lululemon shoes: @asics Superblast headphones: @shokzusa openrun pro vest: @salomon adv skin 5

when life gives you lemons, get ice cream (preferably 95% mix ins and 5% ice cream🍦😚🍋)

everything I got to eat on a travel day!! give me all the complementary breads please!!! 🇨🇦🍕🍝🥨🥞🍞

the screaming honestly seems kind of therapeutic?? 🤣 my sunday morning long runs in china are always filled with the most intriguing and random sights and screams and TikTok dances (lowkey they’re pretty talented) you never really know what to expect like I ran 8 circles around the same little pond and each time I stumbled across a new delightful performance or just humans being humans. anyways happy running and screaming and dancing 🫶🏻🤪 watch: @corosglobal pace 3 shorts + shirt: @lululemon shoes: @asics Superblast headphones: @shokzusa openrun pro vest: @salomon adv skin 5

what I got to eat today 🥞🍚🍳🍐🫶🏻 & some random updates 1. I have always run by “feel” which I love but I decided to splurge/invest in a running watch because I sometimes run too fast and burnout. I LOVE HER SO WORTH IT (coros pace 3) 2. the only 2 good things that came out of my university experience was going on exchange and getting a jellycat egg as a graduation present🥚🎓 I wish I was kidding but I’m not. 3. I just adore costco & today’s samples were exceptionally yummy (their BOXED BROWNIES 🤤) 4. How I make the yogurt bowl: I just top vanilla Greek yogurt with natural peanut butter, cereal or granola, melted chocolate (with coconut oil) and sprinkle on salt. Freezer for 10 mins or fridge for 2-3 hours and then crack ! 5. you always deserve to enjoy food and never have to feel guilty for nourishing your body or your sweet tooth or your soul- life is too short 🫶🏻 ilysm

longest run before my 2nd half marathon done yaaayy!!! china doesn’t have google maps (or normal google or YouTube or instagram) so I literally just run around in random directions and pray I can find my way back home. people also only follow traffic laws like 30% of the time so I was dodging scooters for 25 kms. but I’m alive!!! and celebrated my aliveness with a huge breakfast spread of tea eggs and scallion pancakes and mini steamed pork buns and a massive yogurt bowl and fresh soy milk 🤤 china may be chaotic but their breakfasts are worth it 🥟🥛🫓 happy running and breakfasting <3 watch: @corosglobal pace 3 outfit: @lululemon shoes: @asics Superblast headphones: @shokzusa openrun pro fuel: @guenergylabs and medjool dates
