  • 4 IT BAND MOVES for all runners to save! ITBS isn’t resolved or prevented with rest. You need to build strength and release tension that’s pulling the body out of alignment. These 4 moves are great for prevention and recovery! // 1️⃣Resistance stretching provides both strength and release in one, double whammy. 2️⃣Single leg bird dip again forces you to engage your core, hips and glutes for stability while lengthening out. 3️⃣Standing triangle when done correctly should engage your core and your legs as you press in to the ground. 4️⃣I’ve shares the Lunge matrix many times because it works!! // Will link in stories to more info for those struggling with ITB. Have you tried resistance stretching before? . . . #prehab #itbandsyndrome #itband #runningcoach #distancerunner #marathontraining #runtothefinish #fitnessvideos #runnergirl #runningwoman #rundisney #nikerunclub #trailrunner
  • FAMILIES WHO DO SHOTS...of @berightful For Pain & Recovery together feel better together! We've got a big family trip planned to Costa Rica and I want everyone feeling top notch for hiking, zip lining and I'm thinking surf lessons!🏄‍♀️🏖⛰ // After seeing more of the research on how much turmeric can help with pain and inflammation, I was super excited to get my dad testing this out with me for his health. // He's been taking it for almost a month now and let's just say he was up dancing the night away on New Year's Eve and has reported sleeping a little better as well because of less pain.🥳 // 67% of people in a study on it reported better sleep after 1 month. Can't wait to see what he thinks after a few more months because post knee surgery it really was so useful for me. // And yes, I totally gave him code RunToTheFinish for $20 off a one-month supply. Cause I’m a good daughter 😂 // What habits have you gotten your family in to that makes them healthier?? . . . sponsored #healthybeyondrelief #workoutrecovery
  • 😆😆99% accurate, yes? This is why I get it when any non-runner says “ugh, it’s so hard. I just don’t like it.” // Most of us didn’t either. 😂 It is hard!! Which is also what makes it rewarding.🤯 // It absolutely requires showing up consistently for the body to adapt and yup, that’s hard too. But also what creates routine and habits that spill over to other areas.🤓 // After childhood, running was usually laps as punishment on a sports team or done randomly once a year on a track. Certainly not creating the warmest fuzziest of memories. 👇❓⁉️👇 Now I wonder what else do I think I still hate that maybe I don’t?!?! Burpees?!😱😱Raw tomatoes?!🍅Sleeping without a fan?!🥵 Anything you should give another chance?? . . . #runtothefinish #werunsocial #ilovetorun #iloverunning #runningcoach #runningmemes #fitnessmemes #fatgirlrunning #momswhorun #werunsocial #runforfun #runforlife #goneforarun #workoutwednesday #morningrun #treadmillrunning #whyirun #findyourstrong #runnerlife
  • DID YOU KNOW...let’s hear your random run fact!!!! 🏃‍♀️I ran my first race in 2002. 🏐I was an athlete prior to that. 🤦‍♀️But had and/or faked knee pain to avoid running. 🤷‍♀️I had knee surgery in high school, no one remembers why. 🏃🏃‍♀️My husband is always faster than me, even without training. But right now, I think I could take him in a race over 3 miles. 🏃‍♂️2005 OKC was my first marathon with a guy friend who is over 6’5”. The only time I’ve ever trained consistently with someone. 🏃‍♀️2015 Honolulu was my last marathon, pacing @joditivey for her first with @saucony 👆👆That’s totally part of why Chicago feels like training for my first all over! // Ok your turn!!

  • STOP RUN SHAMING. Somedays I choose to bundle up in the cold, the snow or sweat buckets in humidity... other days it’s perfectly fine outside and I still choose the treadmill. // Somedays I choose to climb crazy hills on a trail and somedays I choose to find the fastest paved path possible. // Somedays I choose to run for hours and somedays I choose to run/walk for 20 minutes before calling it a day. // YOU DO YOU. No more shaming people because they don’t train the way you do. Personally, I want to 🥰my running for many years and was really disappointed by messages implying I wasn’t a real runner because I didn’t go out in -15 F(especially when I didn’t have appropriate gear). Mostly because I get messages from many of you feeling like other runners are judging your choices. // Super impressive for all those who go out no matter what and choose to never utilize the treadmill, but it doesn’t make you more of a runner to do one or the other. // Our pool of people who understand our crazy obsession is small enough, let’s not make it smaller. Who’s with me??🙋‍♂️🙋🙋‍♀️ . . . #runtothefinish #runningcoach #treadmillrunning #winterrunning #morningrun #inspiringwomenrunners #runningmotivation #runnersworldmag #sweatpink #trailrunner #werunsocial #runrunrun #rungirlrun #runninglove #shapesquad #whstrong #runfree #nikerunclub #rundisney #yourworldtorun #thatsgoodhousekeeping #teamself
