As runners we know that working our hips, glutes and abs is key to remaining injury free. But figuring out exactly when and how to do that can be A LOT. This 30 Day Core Challenge will help give you the exact workouts to do, making it a part of your routine!
The Secret to Running Injury Free…
Why not just do a plank a day?!
Because that won’t make you a better runner and it won’t work all the muscles in your core for that whittled middle so many desire. No, no, we need a great core challenge for beginners to help us make changes.
10 minutes.
That’s it.
You absolutely have 10 minutes to create a more injury proof body and as a bonus sculpt some definition in that midsection!

COMMON RUN CLUB FAQS
After talking on IG Stories about Virtual Run Club you had a lot of awesome questions! Instead of sending out individual messages, I thought it was better to answer them for everyone because someone else is probably wondering too!
What if I am not currently running?
There is no specific running plan that anyone must follow in the group. Instead, this is a place to get answers, find motivation and hopefully help you build back stronger (especially when we bring in experts like Physical Therapists so you can ask questions!).
Are Training Plans Provided?
Customized training plans are part of our personalized coaching options, inside the group it’s a lot more about helping you maximize your training. Inside the group you will have access to some of our standard plans for 5K, 10, Half marathon!
Are there guys in the group?
Yes indeed! While we do have more females than males, we’re continually getting more gentleman to join us because the tactics of training really aren’t gender specific!
Do I need a FB Account?
You can access the course without one, but all the discussions and talks with coaches do happen on our Private Facebook Group.
We definitely have members who have a FB account just to join us there, so you don’t have to make it a public account. I have tested other group chats in the past and this one just works most universally.
Will I be charged monthly?
Yes. It’s a monthly fee to remain in the group with access to all the coaches, experts and guides. However, you are free to cancel at anytime.
Our running community is about so much more than just race day. We have a bond that others may never quite understand and now is our chance to help support each other when we can’t do it through high fives.
