It wasn't until hitting post-college life, poised with a theatre degree, student loans, and the onset of panic, that she found running. Running forced Kelly to ditch perfectionism and stomp out fear of failure. Viral selfies from the NYC Half Marathon struck a chord with women who could relate to the struggle, and soon the women's running community Badass Lady Gang was born.BALG is about enjoying life with a side of running. Kelly's philosophy measures success by confidence gained, not pounds lost. If you aren't having fun, it's time to pivot.

283. SHOULD YOU RUN LONG EVERY WEEKEND?Every weekend runners around the world gear up to run long… But should you be doing a LONG run over 90 min every weekend? When getting RRCA certified 10 years ago, one of the concepts they beat into our head was that we don't/should not run long every single weekend. The justification was about the glycogen storages needing to be replenished 1x a month there should be a cut back week where we don't do activity over 90 min to allow for that. This is a good argument… but let's do a deeper dive Cut Back Weeks What is the def of a long run 7 day is just easy mentally for people to create but its truly ot ideal Training is a high stress load on the body. Your body needs macro and micro rest It allows you the chance to recover from the hard training You don't actually get faster from the training, you get faster from the recovery periods Other things to do instead of a long run Cut back long run A short workout

As an avid runner and RRCA-certified running coach, Gabby's dream is to work with athletes in private practice, helping to guide both their nutrition and training.

Does it feel scary to choose a niche in your run coaching business? Like maybe you're leaving runners out when you narrow down who you work with and how you market yourself online? On this episode of the Runner Rising Academy podcast, I interview a recent graduate of the Runner Rising Academy, Dafne Valle. Dafne joined RRA just 1 month after completing her RRCA run coach certification. She had no idea where to start, was hesitant to share photos of herself on social media, and was not planning to niche down. However, within 1 month of joining RRCA, she not only chose a niche but got her first 3 clients by specializing in Run Disney races. During this interview, we discuss how to choose a niche, why it can feel scary to decide to help just one type of runner (and why you will still get clients outside of your niche anyway!), and more. Dafne also shares her experience in the Runner Rising Academy, sharing that she feels the program helped her learn more in 3 months than she likely would have in years on her own. The September Cohort of the Runner Rising Academy, the only business growth program for Run Coaches, is now enrolling! This 3 month small group program will help you create a marketing system to help you bring in new run coaching clients month after month. You will get trainings & resources AND individual feedback and support in this small group environment and make powerful connections with other motivated run coaches. You can save $500 when you join by Monday, September 16th at midnight and enrollment officially closes on September 19th at midnight.

In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we chat with an RRCA coach who is also a strength and mindset coach about one of my favorite topics—mindset. We explore how mindset for marathoners goes beyond just thoughts; it's a much deeper concept built on three pillars: belief, identity, and attitude. We dive into actionable strategies like practicing gratitude by asking what's going well and celebrating small wins before tackling challenges. The conversation reveals how understanding where your thoughts come from can shape how your brain processes them for self-preservation. Belief is key, but identity is often the hardest to change—it's not about dismissing your old self, but upgrading it. Attitude then naturally aligns as belief and identity come together. We also discuss proactive tips runners can use during a race to stay mentally strong and focused. This episode is packed with practical advice to help you master your mental game on race day!   Links to Whitney's business Transcend Health And Wellness: Website- http://transcendhealthandwellness.com/home IG- https://www.instagram.com/train.with.transcend Master Your Mindset Series - https://www.instagram.com/p/C--fJ4pxv8r/?img_index=1     Registration Link: https://buy.stripe.com/fZe4ha1IXewf9gY000   We are now on YOUTUBE: Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast   TIFOSI OPTICS: Use our 20% off code “MRP20” or use this link: https://tifosioptics.com/discount/MRP20    RUNUR athletics runur.run code: runur_mrp20   Free UCAN sample pack: UCAN.co/mrp Use code MRP for 20% off!

What is the secret to getting your run coaching clients to never leave?! While we can't expect EVERY athlete to stick with us forever, we do hope they will stay with us a while. When I met Jessica at the RRCA convention, she mentioned to me that she rarely has spots on her own run coaching roster because her clients rarely leave. I immediately knew that I had to have her on to spill her secrets! In this interview with run coach Jessica Reyes, we talk all about retention. After learning how Jessica got into run coaching and how she found her first client, we discuss: 1) The reason why Jessica believes she rarely has an athlete stop working with her 2) Why Jessica requires a minimum time commitment to work with her 3) Prepaid vs. monthly payments & tiered coaching offers 4) Raising prices with current clients 5) Struggles that Jessica has had as she's grown her run coaching business to full time (and beyond - she not only coaches her own athletes but has founded Sugar Runs so she can help MORE runners) I think you'll really enjoy this honest conversation! Enjoy! ---- Jessica is an RRCA certified running coach, NASM certified personal trainer with additional corrective exercise and pre/postnatal certifications. She is the founder and head coach of Team Sugar Runs and an avid runner herself holding PRs of 3:01 in the marathon and 1:24 in the half.

Welcome to season 2 episode 15 of The Fuel Run Recover podcast! This week I'm bringing you our very first panel discussion, with not one, but TWO fellow running coaches to talk about returning to running after babies! In this episode we discuss some of the challenges runners can face post-partum, but also why your potential as a runner doesn't need to go out the window after having kids! Erin Van Schyndle is a Postpartum Run Coach and Personal Trainer. She has been working in prenatal and postpartum fitness for 14 years and is a UESCA certified run coach. She has run everything from 5ks to marathons and 70.3 triathlon distances. Erin became passionate about helping postpartum runners after her own postpartum running experience was anything but easy. It seemed like any time she got some momentum, she would get injured, sick, or burnt out. She finally reached out to a physical therapist and run coach who specifically worked with postpartum women. It was a complete game changer. After Erin had such a great experience with a coach, she got her run coaching certification and took additional training on postpartum running. She loves helping other postpartum runners get back to the sport they love. You can find Erin at therunningdoula.com and @erintherunningdoula on instagram.  Jessie is a Boston Qualifying runner who is on a journey to complete a marathon in all 50 states began as a way to visit friends and travel since has completed 25 marathons (in 23 states) along with multiple 5Ks, 10Ks, and half marathons. She has also had her experience as a triathlete completing many Sprint and Olympic distance triathlons along with a half Ironman. Her motivation has allowed her to self-coach herself to PRs after reading multiple running books before finally deciding to get her RRCA running coach certification in 2021, to be able to help other runners improve their running and find the thrill as well. Her current PRs are a 19:32 5K, 1:30 half marathon, and 3:13 marathon. She has her own run coaching business Running with Roses and also assists with run coaching for Running Explained.

Join the conversation as Dr. Sean Thomas continues a year long series featuring the amazing groups who make up the NYC running club culture. This week's featured Club is Bedstuy Flyers. BedStuy Flyers was created as a way for people of various backgrounds and abilities to share space, work hard, have fun and always uplift each other along the way.  They believe that running should be accessible, safe and equitable, in Bedford-Stuyvesant and beyond.

After a job loss in 2016, she wanted to keep to a routine and would head to the track at Boys and Girls High School in Bed-Stuy on a weekly basis. She was inspired by the speed workouts she had done with Nike Run Clubs, in both Boston and NYC. A member of the November Project free fitness movement since 2012, she knew that accountability and community-building were a recipe for success and started inviting friends to her Track Tuesdays.  Nick Collins is a certified RRCA coach.

When evaluating any new technology and whether it will help your running, product reviews are typically our first means of learning about the pros and cons of a product. By learning how to use these reviews to your advantage, you're more likely to make better decisions about which products work best for you. This week's guest on the podcast has reviewed just about every type of gear imaginable, from clothing and shoes, to recovery tools, to watches and smart rings. Ashley Mateo is likely a familiar name, as she has written for just about every major media outlet including Runner's World, Bicycling, Women's Health, Health, Shape and  Self.  In addition to her writing and prolific product testing, Ashley is a RRCA and UESCA certified running coach and an accomplished marathoner. She also publishes one of my favorite running newsletters, The Rundown, which is available on Substack. With her extensive experience testing a variety of products, Ashley has unique insights into using product reviews to help you search for new gear. By learning how to think more critically about these reviews, you can evaluate gear before making an investment, and know how to get the most out of your purchase. Ashley and I talk about her background in the sport and then dig into the product review process, including: How Ashley was introduced to running through triathlon Her favorite products to review Ashley's critical process for reviewing different types of products Why wearing a smart ring has changed how Ashley uses her running watch What consumers should pay attention to in reviews Ashley's dream product to review Our discussion will show you how to get the most out of your next running purchase!

Thank you to our newest sponsor, BetterHelp. BetterHelp is the world's largest therapy service, and it's 100% online. I've been speaking more openly recently about my own mental health struggles last year as I went through a divorce. And while running was certainly an outlet, it could never replace actual therapy to help me process everything I was going through at the time.  If you're struggling with any kind of mental health issue right now, it's certainly impacting your running and I want you to be as healthy as possible - both physically and mentally. Improving your mindset is a powerful lever to pull to improve your relationship with running. With BetterHelp, you can message your therapist at any time, schedule live sessions when it's convenient for you (or use text), and change your therapist at no extra charge.
