Happy National Waffle Day! 🧇🏃‍♀️

Good training starts with good fuel—and sometimes that fuel comes in waffle form.

Whether you’re enjoying a breakfast waffle, reaching for a performance waffle before a long run, or noshing afterwards, carbohydrates can help fuel your miles and replenish energy afterward.

Run hard. Fuel well. Eat the waffle. 😋

Because life is too short to skip the waffles!

Went running in the Swiss Alps.

🌲 TRAIL TUESDAY 🌲

It's time to trade the pavement for dirt and take on the challenge of trails.

Trail running builds strength, balance, coordination, and toughness while giving your mind a break.

Uneven terrain forces your body to react, adapt, and stabilize with every step.

👟 Slow down.
⛰️ Embrace the hills to build strong hamstrings and glutes.
🌿 Enjoy the scenery.
💪 Earn stronger ankles and lower legs.

Where are you running this Trail Tuesday? 👇

Tell us in the comments how you're getting those steps in!

Stretchy Sunday 🥳

The World’s Greatest Stretch is a must do pre-run. 🏃‍♀️

Here are the benefits:

Improves hip mobility — Opens the hip flexors and that means improved form and hip extension.

Mobilize the thoracic spine — The rotation encourages upper-back mobility, which can help with efficient arm swing and good running posture.

Targets hamstrings — The straight-leg component provides a dynamic stretch to those all important hamstrings.

Coach Tip: Don't force it. Move slowly with control, and focus on quality movement more than how far you can reach.

Remember: Better mobility = better movement. Add the World’s Greatest Stretch to your warm-up to prep your hips, hamstrings, ankles, and spine for the miles to come.

It's National Relaxation Day 🥳

Remember, recovery is a part of training, not slacking or hurting progress.

Your body gets stronger only when it has time to repair, rebuild and adapt to training stresses.

Rest days, quality sleep (or naps!), hydrating and eating the right things all play a part in helping you become a faster, stronger runner.

Today, let yourself relax. Take a few less steps, put your feet up, because your next run is only as good as your recovery from the last one.

It's almost the weekend!

Come get some end of the week miles with us and catch the sunrise. 😁

See you Friday at 6:30 to walk or run some weekend starting miles then let's hang out post run with some good company and tasty treats from .

We promise, free parking, boardwalk views and 3 to 5 mile routes will get your Friday started right.

Here's your friendly Hump Day Reminder:

Hills pay the bills. 🏔

Or something.

But they do help you run faster and with better form.

They also might be a big part of your next goal race. And we all know, practice makes perfect.

So...go find a hill. Tackle some this week for improved knee drive, faster foot strikes and more powerful legs.
