I’m a beginner who just started walking regularly.

Awesome! If you can comfortably walk a mile, you can use this program to walk your 5K. There’s no requirement to run if you don't want to.

Will I be able to run the whole 5K at the end of 6 weeks without any walking?

This program is meant for people who want to either run/walk or walk a 5K. If your goal is to run the whole thing without stopping to walk, this is probably not the right program for you.

It’s hot outside/It's cold outside.

I hear you. There's weather everywhere. But they run marathons in the Sahara Desert and at the South Pole. We’ll teach you how to dress and run so the heat or cold aren’t an issue—and how to master the treadmill so you can keep training in case the weather keeps you indoors.

I canceled my gym membership because I never used it. This could turn out the same way. I’ll sign up and quit before I ever get started.

That's the great thing about this class, we don't just tell you what to do, we help you shift your mindset so you can get it done. You're not on your own, you have coaches and a whole community of women just like you to help you stay focused and motivated.

I weigh 250 pounds and my brain tells me I’m too fat to run.

I can 100% assure you that at 250 you are more than ready (I weigh more than that and I’ve finished several half marathons). You can walk as much as you want or need to in this program. There’s no requirement to run the whole thing.

I don’t have enough time.

Here’s the deal. Everyone has a crazy life. 5K training doesn’t take nearly as much time as you think. If you can carve out 45 minutes three times a week you have enough time to train. Most people spend more than that on Facebook every day.

I have an injury. Is it OK to do this program?

If you’re injured, the first thing you need to do is get well. Go see your doctor, get into PT, and join the next class when you’re healed.

How is this different from your books?

This plan is based on my books, but with the added component of live coaching and support from me, the support of a like-minded community, and a ton of additional tools that are only available in my coaching programs.

I’m nervous about making the commitment. I did a 5k a few years ago with a friend but don't know if I'm motivated enough to train on my own. Will calls and online support be enough to keep me accountable?

The calls and online support are some of the tools we provide to help you learn to be accountable to yourself! One of the skills we’ll be working on is motivation and how to create it so you never have to rely on someone else to keep you going.

I’ve already done a few 5K’s and I’m past the beginner stage. Is it still OK for me to join?

If you’re already doing the distance, that’s awesome! This class can help you with some of the finer points of training as well as working on your mindset and inner mean girl.

I’ve started and stopped a lot of 5K training programs. I don’t believe I’m motivated enough to stick with it.

Here’s the deal. Motivation is something you create, not something you have. In this class you will learn the skills to create motivation.

I travel a lot and don’t know if I’ll be able to attend the group coaching calls.

All of the training calls are recorded and posted on the members' website within 24 hours, so you don’t need to attend live to get what you need!

Where are you based (time zone)?

East coast.

When are the coaching calls?

Coaching calls are held on Tuesday's at 1pm Eastern from July 15th through August 19th.

Do I need any special software to attend the calls?

No special software is needed. Calls are done via Zoom. Video is not mandatory, you can also join with audio only.
