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.

This experience proved to me that you can see a real measure-able difference in your health and wellness by working with Amanda and this program.

Amanda Brooks : Run Coach
SHARE THE ONE that resonates most with you. 🏃‍♀️🏃🏾🏃🏽‍♂️
 
It’s true, I’ll never stop talking about the warm up 😂. But right now the idea that running is HOPEFUL really strikes a chord.💜
 
We show up mile after mile always looking to what’s ahead and what’s possible.
 
Which one hits home for you?

AVOID HITTING THE WALL (save this and review befor AVOID HITTING THE WALL (save this and review before races) -AKA  Bonking. UK friends giggle at that, but it’s a term just like fartlek.
.
It’s that painful moment when your mind tells your legs to stop and it feels like there’s nothing you can do to turn the tides. It leaves emotional scars!🥵
 
WHAT TO DO!
1️⃣Train differently - seems obvious, but consistent training that follows a plan which progressively and smartly builds your miles and strength and speed...ya it works.
 
2️⃣Fuel, fuel, fuel - force yourself to eat before races and long runs even if not hungry.
.
Starting fueling sooner than you think you need to and keep doing it. During races your body is running on more carbs and needs that steady flow of energy. 
.
🧠 Your brain functions on CARBS, stop depriving it or it will tell you to stop running. If food while running is an issue for you, checkout something like @genucan.
 
3️⃣Pacing - Stop going out too fast because you’re excited, it absolutely catches up to you. Ideal is even pacing start to finish.
 
4️⃣Pay attention to your brain. @fitzgerald.matt in How Bad Do You Want it does a great job of showing how the brain can limit performance if you don’t know what’s happening up there.
 
5️⃣Recover better - Stop over training and give your body tools to help it destress from all the work...the best one is SLEEP. I also love @resiliencecbd to help with nerves prior to a race and quality sleep during training.
 
❓❓Helpful?? Have more race day questions?? Or an epic story of hitting the wall?? I wanna know.❓❓

Thanks to @moxie82co for capturing this weird moment, it worked great for this post.
HIT THOSE HIPS!!! I’ve given you a couple hip mo HIT THOSE HIPS!!! I’ve given you a couple hip mobility workouts, now we add strength!
//
🥳For the next 30 days in the Virtual Run Club we’ll be going hard on all the pre-hab work for hips, glutes and abs. Because running isn’t just about the miles.
//
That’s one of the reasons I’ve been consistently doing @insidetracker bloodwork since 2015.
.
It’s helped me identify low Vitamin D causing fatigue or catch my wayyy high cortisol to embrace easy runs as key part of the process.

3 CORE MOVES
|||
You can use these as a progression or do all three, they’ll target the hips, glutes and core in different ways with each variation.
 
Aim for 15 reps prior to a run or do multiple rounds as part of a workout!
 
1️⃣Side Plank Kneeling Hip Raise - Really focus on your core engaging to raise up and keeping your elbow under your shoulder.
 
2️⃣Side Plank Kneeling Leg Raise - Again core should be tight to keep hips lifted, not sagging towards the ground. Then focus on your hip and glute to raise the top leg.
 
3️⃣Straight Leg Side Plank Leg Raise - Engage the core to keep hips high and press the bottom foot in to the ground to really engage your glutes. Slow and steady to remain stable while raising and lowering top leg.
❓❓❓❓
Talk to me!!!
Who’s in for 10 min a day in March?
Who’s gotten blood work to improve their health?
Who’s excited it’s almost spring?
