I'm sure some of you might have heard about creatine - a supplement that a lot of bodybuilders will use to help build up more muscle. BUT - are you missing out by not taking creatine as a runner? Creatine has many positive benefits for runners - it helps maintain and build muscle mass, improve your short burst energy (sprints, stairs, hills), helps with recovery, and can have positive effects on brain health (promising studies on positive effects when it comes to preventing alzheimer's, and helping with depression) Here's a video I made going more in-depth on creatine, and if you should take it: https://youtu.be/moKdvopyzTQ If you have any other questions feel free to comment below!

Hey Everyone! I have a huge announcement and I am very excited about it. My goal for this group is for anyone who wants to get into running, who wants to get better at running, and who wants to not get injured has everything they possibly need in one spot. Something I have noticed is that getting help/training can get very expensive… I 1000% know that 1-on-1 in-person training with a professional can change your life! But for so many people that is either too expensive, too time consuming, and for a lot of people it's way too intimidating. So I want to make it a lot easier for people to get into this. --------------------------- These last 2 weeks I have had about 30 conversations with beginner runners and that is what has guided me. --------------------------- So here is where I am going with this groupMost online programs charge $150-$200/month and want a long term commitment. I am going to start the group at $34/mo with no commitment. After a few months I think i will raise it to $49 but we will tackle that when it comes. ***P.S. The group will remain 100% free for everyone who has already joined*** (Thanks for being my founding members!) And for the $34 here is what everyone will get if they join… 1. The core of many programs is a run plan to follow. For example a 12 week couch to 5k, or 16 week half marathon, etc… These usually sell for $50ish alone. In the group we are going to have a variety of plans people can follow (from experts, book, etc…) They will be put into easy to follow week by week modules 2. Everyone is different. So I am (with the help of a run coach I am talking with) going to make custom run training plans for anyone who wants them. These are $100-$150 each. And will be included for free. 3. Weekly follow up accountability call/message for anyone who gets a run plan I want them to get full value from the run plan but more importantly I want to make sure the plan is working for them… Does it need to be harder? Easier? Plus I want to make sure they are not getting injured.

Got it out of the way early. Did a slow jog of 2k! Right foot still sore but that's OK. Got jumped on by a over eager poodle haha Now that I'm on a good streak it's a lot easier to go out and get it done. Looking forward to the 5k events and on track to easily complete it

Just a thought about Strava if you are using it to track runs and progress. Maybe we could follow each other for motivation! Here’s a link to my Strava account if anyone wants to follow: https://strava.app.link/6tJmEgVFjWb

I am very goal orientated (I actually struggle to get anything done unless the goal is written down) so I want you to to get the most out of this group and I want to help you get there. Is it just to run every day down the block? Fully recover from injuries? Run 5k or a 10k? Whatever it is we all want to know so we can cheer you on, help you out, get you answers and grow together! I'll go first!
