“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us”

After 19 years working for the University in either a part time faculty role or as Clinical Associate Professor of Physical Therapy, I did it!  I pushed out of my comfort zone and decided to quit my 9-5 job to pursue my passion within the running community.  

In this episode, I get vulnerable and share with you why I decided to make this very difficult decision and I also share some very exciting news on what is next for you…the runner within our Healthy Runner community!

 

Let’s be real here — Improving as an adult runner can be overwhelming and frustrating at times.   I understand the constant struggle of searching for the best run plans, strength exercises, or foods to eat that actually make a difference and still coming up short each time. Or worse, finding a training plan that brought you a new shiny PR but you have to take a break from running because you’re injured or burned out.

There are six parts of your running journey that need to be optimized so you can run strong and last long!  These are mindset, strength training, run plan, nutrition, recovery, and race strategy.

It got me thinking….Maybe we can create something for our Healthy Runner community!

Right now it’s just an idea, I haven’t created anything yet but I want to share with you the vision of Healthy Runner Academy Powered by Spark!

 

Healthy Runner Academy is going to be created to fill a gap often found in traditional run plans and rehab programs.  Instead of following a training plan that only focuses on running or waiting to go to rehab for your next injury, you can access all the education and exercises you need to start growing in your running journey so you’ll not only feel more confident in getting stronger and faster but you’ll stay healthy and enjoy the process of running again! 

 

Running doesn’t need to suck and it doesn’t need to be painful, Healthy Runner Academy is going to be created to change that — Offering a supportive community, accountability, and tools for progress in executing the six key parts of your running journey all in one place.

I don’t know if this idea is of interest to you but if it is…I want to invite you to come join me as a founding member here!
