Running Redefined

Running doesn't have to be hard and painful, it can be something you look forward to that makes you feel amazing! Running has the power to improve your self confidence so much it can "overflow" into other aspects of your life. You can do anything if you give yourself the chance. Hello! I am coach Barbara and I work with long and ultra distance adult runners. I offer coaching and running plans to suit your individual needs including mobility, motivation and mental training. I did not run track in high school. I did not run track in college. I am just an average everyday person, perhaps much like yourself. I did not find running until a bit later in my life. I am also a mom to two very energetic boys. None of these things stop me from exploring my limits and completing the 100 mile distance. YOU can do the same. My philosophies include-Failure is not bad, it is your greatest chance to learn -Walking is good - doesn't have to be slow but must be practiced -Being outside and connecting with nature is good -Mobility work and self-care are vital to injury prevention and successful performance, speed isn't everything -Your mental game must also be strong - utilize yoga and meditation along with practicing gratitude and mindfulness Your possibilities in life are endless, you just have to give yourself the opportunity. By committing to making small incremental changes, by showing up for yourself everyday, you can build an amazing painting of any life you desire. It is all within you, all we have to do is unlock it. What has always been does not always have to be. Redefine Yourself.
