If you are in the world of running–or social media in general–you’ve probably seen this quote by famed Runner’s World columnist John “The Penguin” Bingham, “It’s not the finish line that matters, it’s having the courage to start.” I’m totally on board with that sentiment as well as Bingham’s positive messaging about overcoming the intimidating stereotypes of being a runner to just start running. But, the reality is, most people don’t give two shits about start lines, they value that finish photo. And you can’t really blame them.

Check out the latest “Workout Inspiration” blog post for exercises that combat our everyday slouching, hunching over and head-forward nature in this technology-addicted world.

Pushing your body past what you thought it was capable of is easy; the hard part is pushing yourself even further … past what your mind wants to let you.

The real purpose of running isn’t to win a race, it’s to test the limits of the human heart. -Bill Bowerman For the past six months, I’ve been spending 6-10 hours a week coaching a group of about 35 people, many of whom started out as strangers to one another in November. Together we began …
