Extraordinary Strides

Hello, friend, 

April Fool's Day, also known as All Fools' Day, is an annual celebration observed on the 1st of April. The history of this playful holiday is somewhat mysterious, but it is believed to have originated in several different cultures.

April Fool's Day is now observed in many countries around the world, and its traditions vary widely. In some countries, it is common to play pranks and tell jokes on the 1st of April. In others, the holiday is more subdued and may involve the giving of small gifts or the sharing of elaborate, fictitious stories.

Regardless of its' origins, April Fool's Day remains a lighthearted and enjoyable holiday for many people around the world.

So here at bRUNch we are going to harness the lighthearted fun with some silly jokes, puns, and light-hearted conversation to fuel those endurance miles.

Join in on the fun and happy pun run!

Today's workout will be structured:
5 min Dynamic stretches
5 min walking warm-up
25 min Endurance Pace
2 min walk
25 min Endurance Pace
3 min Fast Finish
 5  min walking cool-down

Hello, friend,

Oh goodness, as coaches, but more so as runners, the topic for today's Quick Byte is one of the things we wish on NOONE, and while we don't even like to say it out loud, we know we need to peel back the layers and tackle this nitty-gritty conversation.

Join us for this quick byte that discusses common injuries runners experience and ways to avoid being on the bench.

Hello, friend,

Thank you for joining us for today's bRUNch.
 
As you will hear in the introduction, this is not your typical long bRUNch, so if you need some soul-filling conversation-fueled miles, we are going to suggest you check out some of our previous long bRUNches, including Chicken Soup for the Runner's Soul found here >> 

In this bRUNch episode, we peeled back the curtain to give you an exclusive opportunity to participate in one of our premium podcast episodes for our Spring training group.

This is usually part of the episode notes where we provide an outline of the workout, but we want it to be a SURPRISE, so instead, we suggest you check out the RPE scale here because that is what we will be using for today.

Do you have some big Fall races on your calendar? Looking to stay consistent during the lazy dog days of summer?

Our summer training group kicks off in June! We will have 16-week and 20-week group training with private premium podcasts, zoom parties, pop-up challenges, and more. Registration will be limited - to be among the first to learn when we open the doors to claim your spot; you must fill out our interest form.

Sign up for the interest form here>>

You heard us say this was spicy, so please consult your physician before starting this or any new fitness regimen.

Hello, friend,

Thank you for joining us for today's quick byte!

We released this episode on the official Gryffindor House Pride Day to which Coach Shelby (Gryffindor) was more than happy to fully claim her Potter fan crown and explain all things Potter to Coach Christine (Hufflepuff or Muggle the jury is out).

Join us for this light and fun conversation about the houses, the traits each house has, the movies, books, and the magic of Hogwarts.

Meet as at Platform 9 3/4 and let's get ready to embark on our adventure.

Not sure which house you want to represent? Check out the Buzzfeed quiz that Coach Christine took to help her figure out what Coach Shelby was talking about.
https://www.buzzfeed.com/eleanorbate/accurate-af-sorting-quiz

Since this episode went live, we have heard loud and clear from our community that the Buzzfeed quiz is far from accurate and likely not Hermione-approved. We include the Pottermore quiz here not to ire the Potterheads further.

Don't worry. Coach Shelby has been sent to the Ministry of Magic, where she appropriately performs her penance for allowing Coach Christine to publish the BuzzFeed quiz.
