30 Hard Miles I'm working through some planar fasciitis in my right foot. I'm managing to get my miles in, but not the really long ones that I had hoped for. I ran a lot of back-to-back runs; 15 on Saturday, and 12 on Sunday, and so on. |

Chronicles of the 2012 Michigan North Country Trail Run The challenge came about a year ago, "I'll run the full trail marathon, if you run the 50 mile ultra marathon". This challenge came from Jeanette, one of my Recliner to Runner 5k Program graduates. |
Featured Testimonial
"The Recliner to Runner Program has helped me stop the trend of laziness! I can actually run without being out of breath or exhausted! After having my third child losing weight was extremely hard. My figure is starting to form back with only five weeks of being in the program. I've lost eight pounds!"

Group Training Program
Our Recliner to Runner program starts off very slowly and builds up slowly. Once the fitness base is laid, we will begin to ramp up. Each week during our LIVE WEBCASTS, we'll discuss running gear, stretching, nutrition, personal safety, proper form, injury prevention, and many other topics! I listen to my runners and provide the tools for success. Expect to be my best friend over the 10 weeks of training! I will check in on you frequently and we'll meet and train together often (depending on geography)! Some of my best friends are people that I met and coached through this Program! Once you graduate from the program, join our weekly training runs to help stay motivated and connected.

Nutrition is One of the Most Important
Aspects of ANY Training Program!
During training, our bodies need foods that can readily be converted in to energy, foods that will help rebuild and repair muscle tissue and restore glycogen levels, foods that will fortify vital organs, and not create excess waste that our bodies have to transport and store. RunWell coaches spend a lot of time discussing nutrition with both beginner and experienced runners. As you may already know, most of our country's food is grown using toxic chemicals, processed at high temperatures, irradiated or pasteurized to make sure no living organisms survive(!), and then "fortified" with synthetic ingredients so that it can be called "enriched". In the process, much of the nutrients, fiber, and enzymes that our bodies need are lost, or at least severely compromised.
