Hey, hey, my runner friend. Today we are talking all about how to set realistic running goals. And by that, I mean ones you can actually achieve and feel really proud of. When you’re starting out as a runner, when you’re just starting out, it is so easy to get carried away by big shiny […]

Hey, hey, my runner friend. Today we are going to talk about the body scan technique. We all struggle from time to time with ache and pains and even injuries while we are running. The body scan technique will help you determine if the aches and pains you feel while running are something you should […]

Hey, hey, my runner friend. Today we are going to focus on what to do when you feel judged for running slowly. When you don’t have a small body or you don’t have a typical runner’s looking body and on top of that you feel like you’re plodding along or that everybody else is faster […]
