Most of my running happens on two wheels. 😂 . . . #elliptigo @elliptigo_usa #ride #outsideisfree #outside #elliptical #crosstrainning #crosstrain #trainsmart #athlete #athletelife #cycle #bike #bikelife #instacycling #letsride #rideyourbike

I learned a truth from @sarah.canney this weekend at @riserunretreat. She opened up about struggling leading into the weekend and told her husband that she thought it would be the last one. When she told the Instagram community, it resulted in dozens of comments supporting her work. This will not be the last Rise Run Retreat. . ***** Now I am going to speak a truth. I have these pretty Moxy Sensors sitting in a fancy silver suitcase but almost no one is booking new appointments. I told Sarah my approach is to not tell anyone and instead talk about how busy I am with assessments. Then I saw she told the entire world of social media that she felt like Rise Run Retreat was falling apart in the days leading up to the weekend. . ******* I know there are people who wouldn't mind if I failed. People who do similar work but arrived at their place with more traditional education. They are people who periodically pop onto my IG or FB and try to insert their "superior" knowledge. It's never in a constructive, collaborative way. Is it really that hard to imagine that I actually what I’m talking about, lol? . ******* I am so crazy about the data from these sensors and it's hard for me to imagine why a runner wouldn't want to know why they fail when they run faster than race pace. Why is race pace comfortable and how ever many seconds faster per mile isn't? It's absolutely fascinating to me and I want to share this technology with everyone! But.... there are my expensive sensors in their pretty silver suitcase. . ******* Yes, it's all new and I'm hopeful that it will take off but like Sarah, I'm sharing my truth with the world of social media. I'm not giving up but I want to ask you guys, what would make you schedule a 5-1-5 assessment? . . . 📷 by the amazing @joevigerphoto #womenrunning #running #run #runnerscommunity #trailrunning #runfast #readytorace #trainsmart #runrunrun #runforlife #runitfast #runchat #loverunning #runhappy #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #runnersworld #marathon #instarun #runtoinspire

I’ve arrived home from @riserunretreat, filled with good food, belly laughs, and a little too much wine last night.... I’m beyond impressed with the experience that my friend @sarah.canney creates for this group of lucky women. It was an amazing honor to speak about my passion, injury prevention. Women, you need this retreat on your bucket list! . . . . #riserunretreat19 #riserunretreat #womenrunning #womensrunningcommunity #motherrunner #runlikeagirl #runner #riseandrun #runnermom #momrunner #run #newfriends

This right here is the joy of motherhood. I posted this beautiful art on FB a week ago so some of you have already seen this. My daughter asked if she could paint a mural in her closet. I said no and she had the good sense to do it anyway. I mean look at this! I’m so in love with it. She is only 12. My son is a shy little guy but was asked to play on the best travel soccer team for his age. I thought it was a terrible idea but he wanted to do it. He’s out there every week, making amazing passes, scoring, and being an overall great teammate. This is truly the absolute joy of motherhood! Happy Mother’s Day to all of my mama friends! . . . #mothersday #loveyourchildren #motherlove #motherrunner #childrensart

Ethan gradually warmed up to the idea of performance testing. No joke, he booked an appointment with me! I did it for free because I’m nice 😉. We had super interesting results and it turns out Ethan needs to spend a little more time in zone 2 and work on breath training. Poor breathing technique is turning out to be a common cause of failure in my trained athletes, causing both hypercapnia (high CO2 in the blood) and hypocapnia (reduced CO2 in the blood). . . . #westernmass #athlete #cycling #performancetesting #ftp #cyclist #garagegym #cycle #sufferfest

It was another busy day of testing! Knowing your physiologic limiter gives purpose to your training. Something fun about this assessment— on one of the high load intervals, with 2.5 minutes to go, she said, “I can’t make it.” She was two seconds away from jumping off the treadmill. I’m looking for my athletes to run to failure so they will all fail at some point. In this case, I was looking at her data, her blood distribution, her homeostasis in the interval, her oxygen saturation levels; I said, “I am looking at your data and you’re not ready to fail! Keep going!” Guess what friends? She lasted the entire interval. I knew she could because of this amazing data! ******I’m currently booking 5-1-5 assessments in the gym! . . . #performance #running #runstrong #runnerscommunity #trainsmart #trainforlife #athlete #womenrunning #halfmarathontraining #strongerthanyesterday
