UGH posting this pic is hard for me but I need *your* help!
Who’s ready to build their BEST running body with me?
Once again, summer flew by WAY TOO FAST. Kids are back in school and for many of you that translates into hectic schedules. We’re also heading into THAT time of year again…you know the one inundated with parties, family gatherings, holidays…and ALL.THAT.YUMMY.FOOD.
Have you mentally prepared yourself for that yet?
Let’s set our intentions RIGHT NOW to build our BEST running body and make time for US. If we’re not giving 100% to ourselves, how can we expect to give 100% to others? When we take care of our bodies by eating right and exercising regularly, it’s a whole lot easier to deal with the demands of our day-to-day tasks.
At 10 months postpartum I feel like I’m finally ready to make that commitment to myself. And I need to get myself back on track NOW in order to make it through the holidays with minimal damage! lol
Perhaps you can relate?!
But I really don’t want to do this by myself…I know my odds of success will be MUCH better if I have a group of friends like you to help me stay accountable and on track.
In addition to the #365photorun I wanted to let you know about TWO additional challenges I’m starting in September if you’re ready to kick things up a notch with me! :o)
BOTH challenges begin on Monday SEPT 5th and can be done in combination with the #365photorun if you like!
BOTH challenges require you to do a 5K on your own schedule on Day 0 and on DAY 30 you’ll do that same 5K again to compare your results!
Sounds fun right?!
Here’s the details:
CHALLENGE #1 Yoga for Runners [BETA]
WHO: Any runner looking to improve strength, endurance, balance, flexibility, and become less prone to injury.
WHEN: MON SEPT 5th-25th
WHY: Beachbody is releasing a new program in September called the 3-Week Yoga Retreat and I’m putting a test group together so I can get your honest feedback on how this new program–designed especially for yoga newbies–affects your running performance.
HOW MUCH: FREE
Here’s a quick sneak peek:
I’ve done yoga workouts before but I never really felt like I had a good handle on the basics or the fundamentals so maybe you’re in the same boat too?
The full 3-Day Yoga Retreat program will be available at no extra charge to anyone who has a membership to Beachbody On Demand. And hey guess what… since you can try Beachbody On Demand FREE for 30 days you can participate in our test group at no extra cost to you!
If you decide NOT to keep your BOD membership you can simply cancel your subscription before the 30 days.
Easy-peesy!
CHALLENGE #2 Build Your BEST Running Body 30-Day MASTER Challenge*
WHO: Any runner looking to become stronger, fitter, leaner, and less prone to injury. You must be willing to commit to a nutrition plan and workout schedule guaranteed to produce results.
WHEN: SEPT 5th – OCT 2nd
WHY: Because committing to a new nutrition plan and workout schedule is more fun and effective if you do it with a group of people who can hold you accountable and are going through the same struggles as you.
HOW MUCH: FREE to $140 depending on what tools you already own and if you choose to participate in the Beachbody Health Bet (see below).
You will be given all the tools you need to succeed including:
— BOD membership which also includes access to 21-Day Yoga Retreat
— structured meal plan + recipes + shopping list
— an accountability buddy
— a special app to track your progress and keep you accountable
— 30-day supply of Shakeology, a nutrient dense shake derived from whole foods that can be used as a meal, snack, pre-run or recovery shake. (I know for whatever reason some people get weirded out by Shakeology or can’t drink it due to allergies so I’m making it optional for this particular challenge.)
HOWEVER during the month of September Beachbody is doing this super cool thing called the Health Bet. They’re betting over $1.25 million (and counting) that you’ll fall in love with getting healthy so if you choose to drink Shakeology during the challenge period you’ll also be eligible for a chance to earn an equal share of all that money.
Cha-ching!
It kinda seems like a no-brainer to me but I’ll leave it up to you to decide!
If you’d like to participate in either one of these challenges or have questions please contact me before Wed August 31st and I’ll touch base with you ASAP.
