It's Day 5! You've made it! Woohoo!

Today is the most important day of the whole challenge, because today we are putting it all together. You deserve to get stronger and to take this time for YOU!

DAY 5: THE BIG PICTURE

This week, you’ve already accomplished a lot!

You’ve discovered that in order to run better you have to move with intention, which includes movement quality, movement control, and intentional running.

But like I mentioned at the start of the week, moving with intention is just the first piece of the puzzle.

If you want to run stronger after 40, there’s two more pieces we still need to talk about.

Even if you have missed some of the days so far, be sure to join us LIVE today, so that you can get the blueprint and see how all 3 pieces fit together to help you become the strongest and healthiest version of YOU, no matter your age or current fitness level!

Because, as you’ve seen this week, it’s not just about how much you’re doing; it’s about HOW you’re doing it and how committed you are to the process.

Running is a practice; you can keep getting better if you do things intentionally.

ACTION ITEM:

Meet yourself where you are.

Use today to catch up on an action item this week that you haven't done yet.

If you're all caught up, pick one of the days to repeat.

If you had a hard time performing the strength test on Wednesday, modify it—use a higher chair or use your arms to help you to do the single sit to stand until you can do 3 sets of 10 on each leg. If you have pain or are unable to do it with one leg, use 2 legs to stand up and try using just 1 leg to lower back down.

I want you to see that anything is possible when you do it with intention and move forward with a PLAN and modifications that work for YOU!

Fill out these quick questions to help you move forward with intention!
