Running a 5K after running injuries - Ready to Run?!
The last time I ran a half marathon, I outpaced my training runs bc I saw the trophy and I wanted to win it....and in the process I fractured my foot.
Yes legit, I fractured my foot for a freaking trophy….wanna know what….I forgot to even pick up the trophy!!! W T FFFF (yes I got second place and paced a 7:11 mile #glorydays #kiddingbutnot)
Want to know what I haven’t done since then (and that was in 2013) ….I haven’t ran a single race. Not even a 5K.
So when I say signing up for one is a HUGE DEAL for me, it’s like legit the scariest (and kind most rewarding) thing I’ve done since birthing my babies!
My oldest fur baby is my new running buddy number 1, & I’m going to do this the right way and follow a full training program (with strength workouts + runs all planned out!) and nutrition guides as well...and run the actual pace I choose ;) ...That way I don’t look or feel like the girl on the left...the one who was far too skinny and had no clue about eating to fuel her body and using strength training instead of just running.
Because when I just ran, let me tell you, my body (female cycles) did not work the way they were supposed to….and I’m not going back to that!
So how about let's follow a program that will help get back into running/run walking in a safe way!
THE PROGRAM I'LL FOLLOW:
30 Day Breakaway, it's going to get us out of the house and into the great outdoors! I am so excited to get stronger, learn new running techniques, and just get outside and run!

What is the nutrition plan like?
All 30 Day Breakaway Challenge and Completion packs include BOTH UPF and 2B Mindset - our incredible premium nutrition plans - so we will be able to focus on the nutrition program that works best for you. This combination of nutrition and fitness is amazing! Learning how to fuel your body will also fuel your runs!
What support will I have?
My test groups are so much fun and such an amazing way to stick to your plan, answer questions, stay motivated and connect with other people doing the same program! These groups are what have kept me on track - they hold me accountable and keep me motivated!
What packages are there?
For New Customers:
For Existing BOD Members:
I always recommend the Deluxe packages - especially with a program like this where you will be sore. Starting a new type of exercise uses so many different muscles! Having Recover will help you function the next day and allow you to give your next workout or run 100%. And Energize will give you the power to really crush your workout.
I am so excited to do this program with you! Make sure that you have filled out this FORM to be kept up to date & try the sample workout!
