Take 🔟 . Want a laugh ? Scroll through the 10 attempts at this picture. All terrible... ! Either way, I wanted to express again my thanks for your support, love, well wishes, purchases, shares, shouts, feedback and generally being f*** awesome to me and @runnersheal in the last 12 months. 100,000 meals has blown my hopes and wishes way over any expectation levels when I initially made 20 Shirts as a random idea. To say you’ve changed my life, would be an understatement. LOVE 💕 #runnersheal #werunthis #onelife #giveback

🎈LAUNCHED - @coopsrun.team 🎈 Today marks 1 year since I first visited Kenya, guided by my instagram friend at the time - @itschemisto . Fast forward 1 year, 100,000 school meals later and ahead of my 8th trip this weekend, it’s a fitting day to announce that I have resigned from my full time job at @holmesplace , to focus on @runnersheal and my new baby, @coopsrun.team ! ———————————————— What is, CoopsRun TEAM ? Well, many of you know that in the past twelve months I have grown closer and closer to the @iten_kenya community, and decided to register as an Athletics manager. 3 main reasons why to be honest ; 1️⃣ To help athletes the RIGHT WAY 2️⃣ To potentially grow my brand as a social entrepreneur and help give more back 3️⃣ The challenge is huge, but fresh and exciting for me ———————————————— So @coopsrun.team is the running team that I am heading up, to with athletes from a number of locations, as I aim to provide them the best care off the track so they can excel on it. The Instagram page and website ( CoopsRun.com ) will showcase the journey of these athletes, me personally as a rookie manager and hopefully some success stories. ————————————————- I hope you guys enjoy the content over there, and as always thanks to you all for your amazing support ! Chris ❤️ #kenya #iten #runnersofinstagram

Best friends 🙍🏻‍♂️ 🐵 There’s something quite special about having a 7 year old best friend. You can be sure he won’t hide things from you, will be painfully honest and direct at times, and will always tell you straight. It makes me wonder, at what age do humans begin to lose these fantastic childhood attributes ? Why do we feel the need to be any different ? Why does society accept anything less than good honest people ? Afternoon thoughts 💭 #mindfulness #mind #human #benice #oneworld

100,000 !! So so proud to have reached this landmark, and generated 100,000 school meals through @runnersheal . —————————————————- On Sunday, I make the visit back to Kenya where by far the biggest meal drop will be made to date, clocking over the 100,000 total mark in our anniversary week. —————————————————- What started as 20 t shirts for friends and family has exploded into something quite magical here on Instagram, and for each shirt sold, each post made and each time you tell a friend about what we do - I am extremely grateful. Thank you to all of you, from the guys who bought the first shirts like @debbie_running , @thomaswuscher , @hu1896 , @st_pauli_cat - to the “ influencers “ who happily posted our shirts for free like the amaZing @eva.runs , @josefineswarm and @the_lucky_woman_ - right up to today, the 7 people who have made orders so far this morning from Boston, Hamburg, London and Madrid. Thank you to @anna_bercana for helping me pack, @marykeitany for ensuring the best quality in farming and last but not least, my Kenyan brother and someone I am proud to call one of my best friends who I met through @instagram - the awesome @itschemisto , otherwise known as @iten_kenya for quite simply looking after me and guiding me this past year. You are all amazing, and have not only changed the lives of hundreds of children in Kenya - but also my own. Much love, Chris ❤️ #runnersheal #werunthis !!!

🇬🇧 London Marathon 🇬🇧 —————————————————— Big respect to everyone running the biggest race in the 🌎 today here in London. As for me it was just spectating again, with a keen eye on both @runnersheal crew members out there, and of course Kenyan friends racing the famous streets. —————————————————- It’s inspiring to be here. Hearing the sound of the crowds, seeing the sweat drip off all those taking part and of course the emotional races cross the finish line. An inspiration for me to get my ass into shape and finally get back out there ? Maybe... @nycmarathon is getting closer and closer and it’s probably about time now to begin the focus. ———————————————- Anyone else been out there today running races in the world ? #londonmarathon

London Marathon Weekend 🇬🇧 Best wishes to all those running this weekend in races, especially @runnersheal supporters ! As for me, 🐵 and I are here in London to support our friend @marykeitany on her bid to retain the @londonmarathon title and who knows, perhaps create more history ! ——————————————————— So lets hear some #instarunners updates ! Where are you and what are you running this weekend ?!

April, April, April... ☀️ Quite a significant month for @runnersheal . Our first birthday coming very soon, new products launched, @marykeitany running London next weekend and by far our biggest meal drop coming at the end of the month - thanks to huge sales in the last weeks. Can’t wait ! ——————————————————— It’s another thank you post this one. Thanks to all of you for helping this project grow into something quite special ! Chris ❤️😍 #runnersheal #werunthis

Global running. My next challenge... 🌍 Thanks to an overwhelming response from some running clubs around the world, I am excited to be mapping out a tour to visit you guys and run with you and your clubs in the next months. ————————————————— As a brand awareness project, my goal is explore running communities across a range of countries, and document the journey as I fly the @runnersheal flag during the process. —————————————————— Want to join in ? Let me know in the comments if you and your run club would be up for a #werunthis in your home town ! ——————————————————— Until then, go have a great weekend and those who are racing - I wish you the best of experiences ! Chris ❤️ #runnersheal #runnersofinstagram

The tour ✈️ 🚗 🚂 🏃🏽 Guys, I want to come and run with you and your group. ————————————————— As part of an awareness campaign, i am looking at putting together a chain of visits to meet up with various run clubs and document what you guys are up to. —————————————————— So if you are in a group, and you’d be up for doing a leg in the #werunthis tour - let know in the comments where in world you are, and tag in any others in that run group so we can get planning 📝

Do YOU ☝️ We are so lucky these days to be able to share our opinions on such a wide and free platform - and we even more lucky to be able to profit from doing so. —————————————————- Profit, meaning shape a life for ourselves that makes us truly happy. It’s not for everyone, I am aware. But there are some people who are completely obsessed with flowers who could earn a career on here, extremely talented in art who could do the same, or like me - build a social enterprise on here that makes you truly happy. —————————————— I really hope that one talented person reads this, and makes that change TODAY to start building a future for themselves in their passions. #onelife
