This episode is for anyone who wants to start exercising, whether it’s running or something else. If you used to exercise but stopped and want to start again, or you’ve been trying to get into a routine but are struggling to make it happen, what I’m sharing today will apply to you too.  There are so […]

Think about the last time you had a run scheduled. Maybe it was first thing in the morning, the alarm goes off, and you think, “Oh, hell no. I’m tired. It’s cold. I don’t have time. I’ll just go tomorrow instead.” The next thing you know, you’ve justified skipping your run. The truth is you’re […]

Every single person’s body is different, from the length of your legs and torso, to the shape of your feet, to your joints, and how your body fat is distributed.

I was recently in Fredericksburg, Texas with 10 of my Run Your Best Life clients for a race-cation retreat. We took part in the Zooma Women’s Race Series over a couple of days, which was amazing.

However, as she got deeper into the running community and she […]

Fall is in full swing here in Philadelphia, which means it’s the perfect time to get running. Fall also happens to be peak half marathon season, which means everyone is talking about their upcoming races and I’m getting a lot of questions from new runners asking if they’re ready to start training for their first […]

I am back with one of my favorite guests of all time, the amazing Coach Jen Lamplough! If you’re a long-time member of the Run Your Best Life community, you’ll be very familiar with Jen. But if you’re not, I guarantee you’re going to love her, and she’s here to talk about some BIG goals […]

This week, we’re talking about the first mile of your run and how it feels like ass most of the time. My new students in Up and Running are doing a mile or so in their first few run-walk workouts right now, and there are always a few of them who ask, “Does this get […]
