Online Running Program: Group Coaching

Real runners commit to the experience…

because the experience is what makes you a real runner.

Even when every step feels heavy…

When the miles today feel longer than yesterday…

When the breath doesn’t come as easily…

When you battle for the will to do it…

We’re here to remind you of one thing:

The experience is what makes you a runner. You don’t become a runner… you already are one.

And you don’t have go it alone.

You’ve been a runner from the moment you decided to run and laced up your shoes.

And you have been every step since. You are every time you commit to running.

But we get it, the commitment isn’t easy. There are so many things to know, learn, implement, and overcome in order to run strong, safe, and supported.

Sometimes, you need a little push and a little reminder of all that you’re capable of – that you can.

Sometimes, you need a little more knowledge and a little extra help to get there.

Knowing someone was reviewing my progress made me want to give my plan my best effort in completing workouts and also food logging. The process for me was fun and helped me to know myself better than I ever expected. Encouragement was also great and encouragement was awesome and made want to keep going when I wasn’t feeling 100% or “in the mood” to run or cross-train. I would say that your promptness/professional approach was great, but I loved how you can relate to my experiences. Next big race I sign up for, I would want you on my side.

Thanks, Amanda! Your coaching and support has been amazing, and exactly what I needed! My goal was to train and race pain free after a couple of years of painful running. And I did it! I have really appreciated all of your guidance, advice and encouragement!!

Who am I?

As seen in:

There are a few things you should know about me first, just in case you’re not sure if I’m the “real deal”: I sometimes run on a treadmill. I walk, too. I don’t run everyday. And pizza is my love language. Still think I’m a real runner? Awesome. In reality, I’m just like you.

I’m a journalist turned author and certified running coach and I’m on a mission to uncover and ignite the runner in you.

Over the last 13 years, I have poured thousands of miles and hundreds of hours of research into comprehensively understanding all it takes for you to run strong, safe, and supported. I’ve built my own personal online runner’s club, a community of tens of thousands of runners who all share one thing in common: a seemingly insatiable craving for cereal. (Oh, and they like to run, too.)

In the Better Runner Blueprint Club I’m bringing it all to you, so it can change you the same way it’s changed me.

This community is different: I’m committed to helping you without massive and unrealistic expectations, but by helping you succeed through dedication, support, education, and accountability.

Whether you need a plan and accountability, nutrition support and injury prevention, or just someone to believe in you when you don’t feel like believing i yourself, I’ve got your back.

I cannot wait to hang out in the middle of the pack together.

This Community is for you if:

You’re ready to get more out of your runs, but unsure of how to get it.

You’re looking for resources to make you a better, more sustainable, runner.

You’re desperate for a community that understands the feeling of completing a run even on the most difficult days; a community you can lean on when you need them.

You’re ready to commit – to your mindset, to your health, to yourself.

You’re afraid of getting injured or struggling to recover from an injury.

You’re excited by the prospect of finally owning that “real runner” title, but need the support to do it – and feel it.

You’re tired of waiting, fumbling, starting and stopping, losing confidence, feeling lost, not having the knowledge, and quitting. This time, it’s for real.

Amanda Brooks : Run Coach
KEEP GOING. You never know when your moment will c KEEP GOING. You never know when your moment will come. You have to keep showing up when it’s hard when it’s frustrating and even when it doesn’t go as it should. 

⭐️Shalane was a professional athlete by 2004 and didn’t win NYC until 2017.

🏃‍♀️Des Linden took second in the 2011 Boston Marathon. It was 7 YEARS of training before she took first.

👏I have many friends who needed 8+ marathons to get their BQ.

👍Serena Williams has had loses that the press would consider catastrophic and she admits to hating them, but using them to find more strength.

🤔Walt Disney was fired for lack of imagination! But he kept going.

The list is long of those who didn’t succeed on the first attempt. The thing they all have in common is continuing on, adjusting the plan, staying focused on the goal.

SUNDAY RUNDAY MOTIVATION!! Share with a friend and I’d love to hear what keeps you going after a bad race.
ANKLE AND FOOT STRENGTH - A lot of questions latel ANKLE AND FOOT STRENGTH - A lot of questions lately about shin splints and while they’re commonly the result of adding too much distance or speed too soon...
🏃‍♀️you can also work on strength, mobility and running technique.

Let’s start with some strength pieces!

⭐️ Plus, these movements are stellar for anyone with ankle pain or needing more lower body strength to hit the trails.⭐️

👇👇
10-12 reps x 2 a day
1️⃣Banded rotation - hitting the peroneal muscles that run along the outside of your lower leg these control ankle movement and foot strength. Better ankles, better stability, less shin pain.

2️⃣Banded turn outs - helping with muscles that control the arch of your foot and prevents knee, ankle and foot from dropping in if the arch isn’t staying strong with each step.

3️⃣Toe raises - we’re really hitting the front of the shins with this. Make it easier with legs closer to wall.

4️⃣Calf raise with ball - calf strength and arch strength happening with the use of the ball, which can again prevent the foot falling inward. Also strong calves absorb impact and spread lower leg load.

5️⃣Foam roll along outside of shin and calves to release tightness from overworked muscles.

Have you ever dealt with shin splints or ankle injuries??
EMBRACING A PAUSE🤢🤢 - It’s been a decade s EMBRACING A PAUSE🤢🤢 - It’s been a decade since I’ve been can’t move from the couch sick. I don’t recommend this stomach bug.
|||
In truth, I’ve been thinking I needed to hit pause for a few weeks.

💼 I’m so excited about what’s happening in my business, I’ve been hard charging for the last year.

🏃‍♀️I’m finally enjoying adding in hills and speed and strength, but could tell I needed a big down week... I just didn’t want to.

🥾On vacation or with fam, I’m always sneaking in work and again that’s not entirely bad because I love it.
|||
BUT LIKE AND INJURY, sickness is a reminder to appreciate our health.

🟧I’m not trying to make up the missed workouts.
🟩I’m not guilt tripping over eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch because it was all that would stay down after 30 hours.
🟦I’m not feeling bad for moving a lot of meetings and not responding to nearly any messages.

What reminds you to step back and press pause??

📸from our great trip a few years ago. Those long vacations are my best way of letting go.

Most of the year I’m up by 5, which often leads to “when do you go to bed?!?!” 
Early 😂.
I’ve been prepping for AARP time since we moved to Miami and it was so dang hot. 

The habit stuck, so now I’m up early and lifting it not heading out immediately in the snow.

In my early 20s, I ran after work and then a lot over lunch...even in to marathon training.

Now I have to psych myself up for evenings which is when most groups are!
