It’s Day 2!   You can still sign up for the 5 Day Running Challenge by clicking here.  It's not too late!

Just the fact that you are here means that you are an ACTION TAKER, and if there’s anything I know from all my years of coaching - Action Takers get results! Just showing up and being willing to try something new is the best first step to achieve anything in your life.  

Yesterday was all about getting CLEAR on where you are right now and what has gotten you to this place. Before we move ahead, it is critical to understand that the results that we have in our lives are a reflection of the thoughts and beliefs we have chosen and the actions that we have or have not taken.  

That's the best news ever because that means if you want a different result, you just have to choose to think and act differently! 

If you missed yesterday's training session, you can catch the replay inside our challenge FB group here or on our challenge access page here.  

 On to Day 2!

Today we are going to continue to find that blue dot on your journey by learning how to tune in to your body and assess your effort level. 

If you’re a runner who can’t get faster even though you’re running at least 3x per week, and all you want is for your speed to improve so you can actually see progress or keep up with your running group, then you might be trying to just push harder or run more, thinking that will lead to improvement in your pace. You've probably heard that if you want to get good at something, you just need to do it more, so you add miles or running days to your schedule, but you're still not seeing your paces improve.

If that sounds familiar, then you're definitely going to want to join us for our live training today or be sure to catch the replay!

1. Head out on your normal run today (or you can do it tomorrow if you don't plan on running today). As you are running, check in with your body - how do you feel? Do a mini body scan - how do your legs feel? How does your breathing feel? How do you feel physically? 

On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being super duper easy and 10 being super duper hard, how hard did your run feel today? Rate your effort level.

2. How did you feel mentally during the run? What were some of the things running through your head?

3. Write down any other observations and feelings about your run. Did it get easier or harder as the time went on? What were some positives or negatives? 

Write them down on the Action Guide or a separate piece of paper.
