  • NOW IS THE TIME TO PRACTICE EASY RUNS and maximize the benefits. You don’t have to worry about a group or an immediate race, so building a stronger aerobic engine has never been more perfect. // Low Heart Rate training is one way to do this because it tells you exactly how hard the body is working and takes your focus off pace. 1️⃣180 minus age = max LHR 2️⃣Don’t exceed that rate for more than 20% of your weekly workouts 3️⃣Lots more details and plans on the website of curious (or ask!) // Some of the benefits are listed above and are why the most successful distance runners generally follow an 80/20 plan. It will help you run farther with the body feeling less effort and help you add mileage without injury...plus it’s relaxing to not be exhausted from every run. // BUT it only works if you ACTUALLY run easy enough. 👉👉Are you good at keeping it truly easy or do you struggle with it? . . .

  • HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ❤️ 12 years married, 16.5 years together and oddly I don't think this current crisis is the hardest thing we've faced. // 💍Day 1 was a parking garage disaster wedding. 👜Pre Marriage I lost my first real job and bawled on repeat for three months as I hunted for something new. 😨We lived in Orlando. (J/k... kinda... it wasn’t a good time for me.) And so many other things I'll never share with you 🙃 // 🥰I wouldn't get through any of it with as many smiles or as much humor if it weren't for him. And he’d probably still be eating $1 frozen pizzas and Ramen without me 😂 // What’s something you’ve done consistently for over 16 years???🧐 . . . #lifeisgood #runnerlove #runningbuddies #happyrunning #weddinganniversary #runtothefinish
  • HIP CHALLENGE -DO IT + SHARE IT Right now, you've got nothing but time to become a better runner which we all know leads back to our HIPS. So today a move to challenge you and mix things up. // Stability Step Over Lunges 💪These are HARD when done correctly and will fire up the glutes, work on your range of motion and force you to engage everything for stabilization. 💪Great for hip strength, lower back, ankle strength and even ACL-rehab. - Go SLOW - NO letting your knee go out to the side - This is an UP and OVER step - Keep tension on the band // Let me know how it goes!! Clearly it’s one I’m still working to improve too! 🥳🥳Bonus hip stretch in stories and details for Sunday’s Virtual Run Club chat! . . . #hipstrength #athomeworkouts #bandworkouts #runnerstrength #furtherfasterstronger #aclrehab #runnersknee #runningcoach #runtothefinish #trailrunning #halfmarathontraining #marathonrunner #runitfast
  • IS MARCH THE LONGEST YEAR? And does that mean April will be a decade🤪 The real question is how do we apply that magic to fun summer months and future vacations??? // I’m thinking of doing a 30 minute Sunday Runday Virtual Run Club this weekend with different folks. If you’re interested drop a note!👇👇 . . . #meme #stayathome #workfromhomelife #runnerlife #lifeisgood #athletesadapt #runtothefinish #runhappy
  • MILLIONS ARE FINDING OUT “work at home” isn’t the glamorous cushy experience assumed 😂. // It takes a whole different skill set to motivate yourself and stay focused without co-workers. And yes a pet, a kid, a partner...they always want something when you finally get settled.😁 // QUICK POLL 💪Going to work as essential service 🤪Newly working from home 🙌Already worked from home 👎Can’t go in or work from home // I’ve been doing four since 2009. First for a company and then for myself since 2012...it’s a skill. While I 🥰it, I also made conscious decisions to connect with others because it’s easy to feel a little nutty with only your thoughts. . . . #transformationtuesday #womenirl #influencerstyle #workfromhomelife #authorlife #runtothefinish #fourhourworkweek #solopreneurlife
  • WHAT’S THE MOST ADVENTUROUS THING YOU’VE EVER DONE??? 🪂🏔 Growing up I was most certainly a scaredy-cat and even now I’m often terrified I’ll break myself 😂 BUT more importantly I decided I don’t want to miss out on experiences because those are MEMORIES.🥰 // My husband is a daredevil, which helps me choose to just try, but still at a much...much slower speed and usually with caution ha!! But I do it! // Waterfall rappelling with my two favorite men on the planet in Costa Rica is an experience I will never forget! I’ve always thought my dad was fearless, I mean he’s DAD! But at 71, I was so thrilled he was game for a day in the woods that was only loosely defined 😂that’s how CR rolls. // This was not my most adventurous, but was inspired by it. A jungle trail camp I did in CR a few years ago 🤯 . . . #activetravel #visitcostarica #womenirl #strongwomen #whstrong #thiswomansday #popsugar #teamself #shapesquad #movemorefitness #womenwhohike #theoutbound #girlgetoutside #andshesdopetoo #sheadventures #trailchix #fitfam
