Inspiring Triumphs
“I think I finally figured out a training plan that won’t lead me to overtrain (cough Hal Higdon) so I’m gearing up for a Distance Challenge soon.”
Resilience and Determination
“Ran my first ever 10k race with the goals of finishing and doing it under an hour. While I was able to PR by more than 5 minutes, I ended up finishing the race at 1 hour and 6 seconds.”
Goal Setting and Progress
“Started running a month ago and today I was able to run two miles without having to stop. Excited to be able to run further and faster!”
Community Support
“Very happy with this progress. Running and weight training on a 1000+ calorie deficit is not fun, but I’m determined to crack a 20-minute 5K a month from now!”
