She Decided to Run Her Way

There will be roadblocks, detours, bumps, and potholes along the way. You can do your best to map everything out and get started moving forward with your running, whether it’s training for a goal race or a goal distance, but inevitably something will happen that will throw you off track.

In today’s episode, I want to talk with you about the ONE thing that I’ve discovered over the years of coaching and with my own running, that has helped me navigate those roadblocks and detours, as well helped me continue running and enjoying it.

Growing up I wish my coaches had talked with me about this ONE thing, which is why I’m sharing it with you today.

In today’s episode, part three of my three part series “Flipping the Script with Your Running Approach” I want to chat with you about why it’s necessary to step back before you step up with your running.

When I say “step back” I’m not saying “stepping down” with your running and training, although you can totally do that and I believe it’s 100% acceptable and encouraged. What I mean by “stepping back” is looking at your life before you create your training schedule or “stepping back” and reflecting on what worked, what didn’t and why that might be, so that you will begin to be more intentional with your planning and training, and you will set yourself up for success with any training plan you create down the road.

In today’s episode I want to chat with you about slowing down to speed up in part two of my three part series “Flipping the Script with Your Running Approach.” 

So many runners I meet are eager to run faster, have quicker mile splits, and speed up to that finish line when they haven’t yet mastered three fundamental elements with their running. 

Today I want to explain these three fundamental running elements, why you should master them first, by slowing down, so that if and when you want to speed up later, you’ve built a solid foundation from which to work from.

In today’s episode I want to share with you Part One of a Three Part Series all about “Flipping the Script with Your Running Approach.”

I’ll explain why the “More is More” running approach and mentality will lead to break down, burn out or boredom, and why you just might want to adopt the “Less is More” running approach and how it will make you a smarter and stronger runner.

Have you ever noticed that the finish line is always moving? Whether it’s a finish line you cross at an organized race or one you cross when completing your goal distance on your own, independent from any race.

If you’re not new to running, I’m sure you’ve crossed many finish lines in your running days and you’ve found that there’s always another one waving at you up ahead. Right?

In this episode I want to discuss how we can create new finish lines with our running and know that they don’t always have to be literal ones. They can be ones you set in your mind around consistency with your running or around creating ease with your running.

Most runners I surround myself with are constantly discovering how to up-level, adjust, and evaluate what they can do differently the next time around. That’s the cool thing about deciding to run your way; you get to decide what’s next, you get to decide what it will look like, and what you’ll do differently the next time around. You get to decide what worked, what didn’t, and hopefully determine why.

After listening to this episode I hope you’ll walk away with a new perspective on finish lines and start thinking about what finish line you’re going to create for yourself with your running and know that when you cross it, because I know you will, you can always create a new one and a new one after that.

One finish line doesn’t determine your capabilities, your worth or the whole dang thing with your running!

When the discussion of stretching comes up with runners, both novice and experienced, the common responses I get are, “I know, I know...I need to stretch more, but I just don’t have time” or “I don’t know what to do, when.”

Well, in this episode, I’m going to explain how to create a simple pre-run and post-run stretching routine that can be done in less than 10 minutes, even 5 minutes if you're focused, why you should start making it a part of your training, and what exactly you should do, so that you’re efficient in targeting as many running muscle groups at once.

I know you’re stretched for time, so keeping it simple and impactful is what you can expect from today’s episode.

If you’ve been running for sometime or haven’t yet started, you might have some beliefs about who a runner is and who a runner isn’t. Specific qualities or characteristics you think they “all” have and why you haven’t yet completed that requirement.

In today’s episode I want to share with you: 

• Why so many people are steering clear of running.
• Why you might want to look at your running differently.
• Who you might “think” runners are.
• Why “fast” just might be ruining the fun.

As the late author and speaker Wayne Dyer once said, “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

Do you find yourself frustrated with reaching your running goals? You’re motivated and pumped up when you get started, after downloading that free running schedule from the internet. Then along the training journey, somewhere around 3 to 4 weeks in, you begin to fall flat, struggle, or even stop. 

In this episode I’ll share 6 reasons why that free online running schedule just might be responsible for many of those struggles and the reason you stop. Why they miss the mark and are not setting you up for success!
