How do you connect with a woman who wakes up before the sunrise with only one thought “how much time do I have for my run today?”


Who spends the rest of her day thinking about how the run went, wondering if she’s eating the right foods, wearing the right shoes and above all going to reach that PR? You talk to her like a real person, not a persona concocted in a board room meeting.

Every runner has questions and on RTTF I give them the honest answers to make every run their best or at least to enjoy the process even when it’s 98% humidity and their coach {waves} says today is a key long run. I’m not here to sell my readers on anything other than the joy of running.

Content Creation

When I graduated with a degree in Journalism, I assumed that meant I’d be a reporter. I never considered a whole new world of writing would open up and allow me to express myself in a way that didn’t involve interviewing Mrs. Jones as her house burned down {hallelujah I’d have been awful}.

Digital Story

From nights spent absorbed in fantastical tales to days spent devouring every running book to cross my path, I’ve always been intrigued by the power of words. Let’s tell a story that’s about more than product details, let’s tell a story that has people lacing up for a second run!

Beautiful Photography

Where words leave off, a great photo can finish the story. As you’ll see on my Instagram feed, I love order and color and taking the time to get the right shot to tell the story, then editing for clarity.

Engagement

Periscope, YouTube, live events, Facebook – whatever the medium, I find ways to connect. Experience the world through the eyes of a passionate runner and coach.

Looking for high quality video like the example below? Please reach out to my video production managers at InspoNetwork.


Ready to see how we can form a long term partnership and find out what I can bring to a project?

  • RUNNERS HIGH It’s real. It’s amazeballs. It’s not determined by pace. It’s not a timed perfect instagram shot. // Yet, it must be documented! A reminder when the runs feel like slogs it’s always worth it in the end because eventually you’ll have that magnificent run. ❤️❤️DOUBLE TAP if you agree. // Some days it’s just a tiny bit of satisfaction from having done the work. Some days it’s glorious shout it from the roof tops running love. // Today was a real good day. When was your last “damn I love this” run? . . . #irunthisbody #marathontraining #sundayrunday #rungirl #distancerunner #timetorun #loverunning #happyrunning #movemorefitness #getoffthecouch #runningmakesmehappy #girlontherun #runningterritory #runnerspace #rungirlrun #beatyesterday #runcolorado
  • RUNNING THOUGHTS...not like the weird what cereal should I eat after this run or why is that guy running in a speedo thoughts, but the kind where your mind feels like it's on a run away train. // It's not unusual when the schedule gets crazy for my mind to be on checklist overdrive. BUT after 3 months of consistently taking time to meditate with @headspace now I notice it more quickly and start taking steps to slow it all back down.1 thing at a time 1 breath 1 moment // Meditation isn't a cure all. Shoot half the time while doing it you're frustrated because you can't stop thinking and yet that's also the point. Suddenly, you're aware of all the craziness in your mind and have the choice now to work on what to do about it! // I never understood this before and it's part of why I wasn't really successful anytime I tried to meditate. Now, just having embraced the practice of stopping to breath or pulling out the app for a quick 5 minute refocusing track is part of my day. // When your thoughts start racing, what do you do to get refocused or calm down?🚦🚧🛑 . . . #ad #headspace #iamwellandgood #shapesquad #mindfulrunning #trailrunninglife #trailrunner #runcolorado #voleeco #brooksrunning #sweatpink #irunthisbody

  • NUTRIENTS PART 3 HUNGER all the time from running could be from not eating enough...AND/OR a lack of nutrients, vitamins and minerals that causes your body to send out hunger signals! 🥦🥑🥔 // The body wants to stay balanced and feel good, so it tries to get you to eat, but without being able to tell you what it wants is veggies and protein and things to help recover. // You know I'm a weekly pizza eater and a daily dark chocolate eater, but if I want to not feel ravenous from workouts I have to focus on the foods that will help my body get exactly what it needs.🍕🍫 So eat the pizza with a side of veggies, have the dark chocolate after the big ass lunch salad, enjoy the post race beer and burger, and then go back to your normal choices. // PIZZA HEALTH -- of course the standard American pizza isn't your ideal health food, but it can be a great way to enjoy life and there are options to "healthy" it up: - The protein and fat are a good balance for the carbs to not spike insulin. - You can pile on veggies or even go with the cauliflower crust. - Make it at home to lower sugar on the tomato sauce which is great for heart health. - Remember it's not a bad food so you don't feel inclined to over indulge and instead just enjoy it. // 🥞🍟What’s a food you make healthier, so you can enjoy it more often? . . .

  • OMEGA 3: NUTRIENTS PART 2 Yesterday, I talked about issues from low magnesium, today in to another important nutrient. // First, why we might be low even on a good diet: “ Because of soil depletion, crops grown decades ago were much richer in vitamins and minerals than the varieties most of us get today.”– Scientific American // Optimized Omega 3 benefits: 🔵faster recovery 🔵reduces chance of injury due to not fully recovering 🔵improves fat utilization for fuel 🔵can help improve blood flow which means more oxygen to muscles making work feel easier 🔵can improve muscle building 🔵can improve reaction time (oh look a snake, jump turn and run) // Enjoying these tips?? Gimme a like and 👍👍 . . . #foodisfuel #fuelyourbody #irunthisbody #bbgtransformation #iifym #eatwholefoods #sweateveryday #marathonrunner #medalmonday #chicagomarathon #morningrun #tiuteam
  • MUSCLE CRAMPS! During Ragnar I got calf cramps like I haven’t in eons and then days later got my @bazevitamins results showing I’m deficient in magnesium! Also way low on Omega 3, whoops. // But the magnesium could result in nearly all the issues I was experiencing! Being low in magnesium can cause: 🔵muscle cramps 🔵poor recovery from workouts 🔵low mood (despite the runners high) 🔵poor sleep 🔵headaches 🔵unable to lose fat // This is the value of doing these kinds of tests, getting recommendations and supplements to get back on track. So now I'm going to attempt to consistently take these daily because it's so easy with the little packets I can take on my travels and I'll report back in a month on how I'm feeling for everyone who was asking for updates! // If you're interested code AMANDAB30 works for 30% the starter kit (includes your first test and first month of personalized vitamins) off link in my stories. Also a link in stories to more info on magnesium for athletes! . . . #ad #bewellwithbaze #womensrunning #runningwoman #fittips #ukrunchat #sundayrunday #halfmarathontraining #sweatpink #trailsisters #trailrunninglife #justrun #runstrong #happyhealthylife #fitlifestyle #runnerslife #runshots #runnergirl #marathonrunner #runnerscommunity #worlderunners #trailandkale #chicagomarathon #nycmarathon #longrun #marathontraining
