I want to ask you guys a question. I keep hearing about people buying Peloton bikes because they no longer have gym access. Why would you buy a Peloton bike and not an ElliptiGO that is for both indoor and outdoor riding? Or any bike for that matter. I'm finding myself in this weird place right now where I want to talk about how this is an amazing time to own an ElliptiGO. I would have had no problem with this a few weeks ago but it's so much trickier to talk about without sounding like a bad salesperson. How do I say all of the gushy things I used to say, which all came from my heart, now that I benefit from selling the product? It will take a while for me to figure this out! It's still snowy here in the woods so it was indoor day for me. Do you like how I have my phone hanging from the ceiling? ❤️🤣 . . . #ellipticalworkout #elliptigo #runneronwheels #running #runnerslife #athlete #run #crosstraining #lovetorun #cycle #trainhard #trainsmart #womensrunningcommunity #womenrunning #runnerscommunity

I cannot easily offer test rides so I bring you the virtual test ride from the muddy dirt roads of western MA. 🛴 . . . #elliptigo #msub #running #runrunrun #runhappy #injuryprevention #crosstraining #cycle #athlete #raceready #trainsmart #runnergirl #marathontraining #halfmarathontraining #run

ElliptiGO was paying attention to my love for the GO bikes. It was hard not to spread my joy but I did it only because this is a company that I truly believe in. A company that has made my active life so full. They contacted me recently and asked if I would be a western MA representative (officially an “enthusiast”). There are no dealers in our area. This means I will be offering test rides to anyone who is near me. I’m beyond excited to share my love for stand up cycling with all of you! You saw my running results last spring into fall so you all know how ElliptiGO bikes increase performance (remember 100 runners at the marathon trials ride ElliptiGOs!). You can try out two different long strides (an 8c or 11R) or a mountain SUB. #runneronwheels www.elliptigo.com . . . . @elliptigo_usa #elliptigo #running #runrunrun #runhappy #injuryprevention #crosstraining #cycle #athlete #raceready #trainsmart #runnergirl #marathontraining #halfmarathontraining #run

This post is about how to care for your injured muscle. I've done this little experiment before but it's a fun one to repeat. I measured total hemoglobin (tHB, looks at blood flow) and muscle oxygen saturation in the biceps femoris at rest. The BF is the hamstring muscle that runners most often injure. Resting tHB was 12.2 g/dl and resting SmO2 was 76%. I removed the sensor and used a $27 car buffer over the entire hamstring for just three minutes. That's all! I added no pressure but instead allowed the natural vibration of the car buffer to work its magic. You can see those three minutes on the graph as a straight line. After three minutes, I monitored the biceps femoris again till 27 minutes. Muscle oxygen saturation jumped to 96% and tHB to 12.7 g/dl. These are significant increases. I continued to monitor till 27 mins and the BF showed very little decline in SmO2 and tHB. Bottom line: just three minutes of inexpensive vibration massage significantly increases blood flow and oxygen to your injured muscle. . . . #injuredrunner #runnersofig #runner #runforlife #athlete #marathon #trainsmart #softtissuetherapy #selfcare #softtissueinjury #marathontraining #injuryprevention #prehab #sportsinjury

Hello runners! I’m doing a Q&A with @riserunretreat and @sarah.canney today. I’m answering all of your questions about run performance and injury prevention, although it always seems like everyone is most interested in injury prevention! You can follow along or ask your questions via my Instagram stories. . . . #womenrunning #running #run #runnerscommunity #trailrunning #runfast #readytorace #trainsmart #runrunrun #runforlife #runitfast #runchat #loverunning #runhappy #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #runnersworld #marathon #instarun #runtoinspire #injuredrunner #injuryprevention #correctiveexercise

My dad sent me this wonderful memory from 2000 of my college friend, Sara, and me celebrating a 1-2 finish at HEPs/Ivy League Cross Country Championships. Sara was always a few seconds in front of me but it truly never bothered me because Sara winning the race felt like me winning the race. We truly had an amazing group of women on that team! It also reminded me of a conversation I had with @becchamm recently about truly loving your competitors, become friends with them, support them when they have an amazing race and when they don’t too. You’ll love your sport just a little more. #womensupportingwomen . . . #throwback #collegerunning #d1sports #team #running #crosscountryrunning #womenrunning #womensrunningcommunity #strongwomen #runfast @fastwomen #fastwomen
