I’m sure all of you will agree with me when I say that this is definitely not how we saw 2020 going for us runners. Our race season has been canceled, vacations canceled, and I even had to call off my wedding. It may seem petty to complain when these are small losses compared to […]

Run/walk intervals are a topic I’ve covered here on the podcast numerous times in-depth, but I’m busting some myths about it today.

I’m bringing you a Facebook Live video I did in the Not Your Average Runner podcast group this week regarding the Black Lives Matter movement and how the white community can start to understand our privilege and become agents for change.

We live in a time of instant gratification, where we want our results yesterday. We want instant shipping, or we want to eat a healthy meal one night and to have dropped five pounds the next morning. This becomes a problem when you’re wanting to level up in any area of your life, and today, […]

Something that’s on a lot of your minds right now is how to start running again after taking a break over this pandemic. Whether it was an intentional break to focus on other things like work and homeschooling your kids, or an accidental one where you woke up one day and realized you haven’t put […]
