Kansas City

Did you know that I grew up in Kansas City?! I enjoyed living there for almost 26 years and cannot WAIT to comeback for a run with some familiar (and new faces).

Over those many years, I was lucky enough to see a lot of different places around the city, which means I know you’re ALL OVER THE PLACE. Luckily, Garry Gribble’s on Ward Parkway is that perfect middle of the road spot for us to meet up for a fantastic Saturday morning!

  • SAVE THIS ➡️ 5 THINGS KEEPING ME INJURY FREE: with so many tips it’s easy to get overwhelmed with running to do’s. Unfortunately that leads to skipping it all and doing what you’ve always done. // Beyond my trampoline accident, I’ve remained largely injury free since 2007. Of course it’s been a learning process, but these keys 🔑 work for me and our runners: . 1️⃣NEVER SKIP THE WARM UP 5-10 minutes of movements that activate the core and glutes, while increasing blood flow. . 2️⃣HIP STRENGTH keeps your knees and IT Band happy. Add it to your warm up! Lots of tips in feed for clamshell variations, lunge matrix, single leg deadlifts. . 3️⃣EASY RUNS make up the majority of training to allow for increased volume workout overtaxing the body. . 4️⃣SLEEP is the number 1 scientifically proven tool to improve any athletic performance. . 5️⃣EATING ENOUGH supports recovery and hormones. A great recent study showed even a day in a large deficit can have impacts. // Which one do you need to work on most? . . . #womensrunning #runnergirl #marathontraining #runcoach #fitnessblogger #morningrun #trailsisters #runcolorado #oisellevolée #furtherfasterstronger #beatyesterday #findyourstrong #runtothefinish #runrunrun #athletesadapt #wearetherunners #runwild #runfree #monitorthebeat #likeamountaingirl #justkeeprunning
  • 🥳GIVEAWAY: What would you do with cases of @corepower ?? (#ad) I can see it now, a full body workout using the cases as your DIY weights, because using things at home to get your sweat on is all the rage right now and I don’t want you to be left out. // Feel free to squat and press, curl some bottles or remember those single leg deadlifts?! The options really are endless, but you could also just drink it at the end of your workout, to end on a high note! // PRIZE: Two month supply of Core Power = 5 cases with 12 bottles each, for a grand total of 60 bottles! Open to US residents and winner will be randomly selected on Thursday!! // 👇👇👇👇👇 HOW TO ENTER IS SIMPLE JUST ANSWER THIS: If I had a magic wand to fix your biggest running struggle what would it be? ❤️❤️don’t forget to hit like . . . #werunsocial #nikerunclub #workhardrecoverharder #crosstraining #furtherfasterstronger #runnerslife #sweateveryday #thesweatlife #runnergirl #runningworld #myfitnesspal #bbgover30 #workouthome #athomeworkouts
  • 😂ADMIT IT you don’t try as hard for Zoom as you would to run errands...Instagram on the other hand, we apparently try harder than normal. // What a weird holiday weekend. I felt so confused when people would ask what exciting plans we had because things aren’t really open, most of my friends are still largely quarantined, our normal go snag a hotel and hit the trails for hours on end didn’t seem logical. // 🥳Instead I ran 19.4 miles Saturday, 5.2 miles Sunday and hiked today. 😊I practiced my 63 step skincare routine, which essentially consists of washing my face, using toner, moisturizer and whatever random face mask I have....ok may have over counted the steps. 🤓Watched two movies and snuggled while it rained. . . . #iamwellandgood #facemaskselfie #workfromhomelife #mindbodygram #mindbodygreen #sundayrunday #wellnessblogger #popsugar #womenirl #thiswomansday
  • SLOW. WALK. REST. STOP. They aren’t dirty words and yet so often we treat them that way as runners. 🤭ARE YOU GUILTY of it?? // 😊Slow is relative and sometimes exactly what your body needs on a recovery run. 🤩Walking is a great way to boost endurance without over exerting yourself. 😴Rest is where the magic happens. It’s how your body rebuilds you get stronger from the stress of training. 😵Stop is when you’re smart enough to know that continuing on is a recipe for injury. // I’m over here pushing for new goals all the time, so this isn’t to say we won’t have discomfort and obstacles, but that we need to stop judging the process and feeling like it must be a grind. // What we do is freaking fun! Hard, but fun! Stop stealing the joy by worrying about not hitting a certain pace. // Happy Friday runners!!!! . . . #newrunner #treadmillrunner #fitnessmemes #runningmotivation #slowrunner #distancerunner #sweatpink #girlswhorun #sweateveryday #tiuteam #runlife #sweatitout #fitnessjourney #rundisney #marathontraining
  • HOW DO YOU LOG YOUR RUN DATA?🗓📝Spreadsheet? App? Journal? // When I started running, I’d write my miles on a wall calendar and kept them for years. Fun to look at, but not terribly useful long term because I didn’t write down anything but total miles and time. // Then I moved to an online platform and it shut down with NO WARNING ⚠️ a few years ago which meant I lost a lot of really useful marathon training data. // Since then I’ve been using a Google spreadsheet because it’s easy. Amusing because we ask our athletes to push their data to our coaching platform for much ore review than I do on my self. ❓So I’m curious what do you use or do you not even worry about the data once the run is done? . . . 📸 throwback to post Ragnar with @therunnerbeans #runwild #runcolorado #coloradorunner #justkeeprunning #stravarun #gorun #womensrunningcommunity #runnerscommunity #runnerslife #runningwoman #bibchat #runlikeagirl #runitfast #distancerunner #sheruns #motherrunner #lovetorun
  • ANY OTHER CHRONIC SPRING OVERDRESSERS OUT THERE? (#ad) 🥵Usually, I can pull off my hat or gloves, roll up my sleeves...but recently I pulled on some thick winter socks with my trail shoes. 9 miles later I had blisters on both pinky toes.😭 // Of course it's not just that they hurt in the moment, it's that blisters then disrupt your training going forward. Luckily, I had @compeed.usa Advanced Blister Care Cushions available to provide: 🟠protection against infection 🟢moisture to keep the natural healing process going (a myth that they need to be dry) 🟣pain relief from the cushioning designed to STAY put on our feet while we run, unlike that normal bandage which ends up smushed in my sock. // Ideally, step one is blister prevention, but we all have the random shoe rub or the poor choice in thick socks for the day. 👇👇 Once you've gotten a blister, CARE becomes your first priority, otherwise they can absolutely get worse which prevents you from running or causes you to change your foot strike resulting in other injuries. // Link in bio to find on Amazon! https://amzn.to/2W2RAMt Grab some to have on hand for that next oops moment, your feet will thank you. . . . #trailrunning #trailsisters #trailchix #iloverunning #runningcoach #runcoach #compeed #compeedusa #keepsyouontrack
