Wait…what? 300 🤯

Thank you! Honestly, thank you for finding me and choosing to stick around.

There is so much misinformation in our lives and too many opinions that are not backed up by science and studies.

I will always strive to bring you the most current evidenced based information I can!

Thank you again.

“Easy” Pace needs some PR.

The term “Easy” pace refers to a pace and speed that is typically 1-2 min slower than your race pace.

It’s the pace that SHOULD make up most of your miles in training.

But does it?

Most of my clients love the concept of “easy” pace but hate the term.

It’s honestly never sat well with me either. Your working and building and thinking of telling your friends you just had a great “easy” run makes their eyes roll.

It’s because of this I began using the term “foundation” pace. It better reflects the concept and theory, while also not down playing the effort.

“Foundation” pace should make up the bulk of your training and your spicy speed/strength runs make up a smaller but very important part.

What do you think of my rebranding of Easy” pace to “foundation” pace?

Let me know in the comments below!

Happy Mothers Day to all of the mommas! 👶🐶🐱🌱

You truly make the world go round while doing 50 things at once.

Maybe that’s a run, maybe that’s sitting and reading.

You are loved, you are appreciated and I am in awe of you all!

Much love,

Have you ever felt bad because you walked on a run? 🚶😩

Don’t! Literally every runner you have ever seen walks sometimes! Your idol? They walk sometimes!

That ultramarathoner you think is super human, totally walks.

Early in my running career I felt to be a runner you couldn’t walk. That every run had to be an ass kicker and I never allowed myself to walk.

You know what happened? A metric s**t ton of injures and burn out. That’s what happened.

I remember watching a documentary, Running the Sahara, and I saw these amazing runners, walking off and on. It was a turning point for me. I realized that walking during a run is normal and needed.

What we call “running” is too narrow a definition. In reality we are all traversing a given distance. By any means necessary.

Realize walking is part of progression, not regression.

Walk when you need, run when you can and crush your goals!

Messages and breakthroughs like this give me life!

This was a message from a client who just finished her first 5 mile run!

When we started she was on a walk run program starting at 30 second running phase.

Over the months we have built up with focus and control. Allowing rest days and reset weeks. Her big goal of finishing her first 12k next month is in view and I’m beyond stoked to see her crush it!

Helping guide people to run pain free, happy and exceed their goals is always my goal.

New runners are 2x as likely to have an injury 😳🤯

This isn’t to scare you but educate you. New runners often fall into the trap of doing too much. Too fast. Too often!

One of my favorite quotes about running is 75% of runners. Run at 75% effort. 75% of the time and statistics show about 75% of runners will sustain an. Injury at some point in their life!

So if you’re a new runner, take it easy and take it slow. Don’t worry about speed for at least two months and even after two months keep most of your runs at an easy pace.

This is why I started my run coaching company. To help avoid injury as much as humanly possible and take people from “I’m not a runner” to “I am running” safely and get you running happy!

If you’re just picking up running or getting back to it ask me any questions so I can help!

Run Happy!

Thank YOU! 🤙🏼
