My guest today has many titles which include but certainly aren’t limited to- wife, mom, runner, blogger, and Disney lover.
Jen Lefforge Posing with the Boss and Some Bling
Recently she also added her own YouTube channel to her already busy life.
Jen Lefforge and I will go a few easy miles as she shares the why behind what she does and her goals for the future both running and beyond.
“Progress is Impossible Without Change.”
~George Bernard Shaw
There are so many great quotes about change, and you’ know I’m a sucker for a great quote…
But this one from George Bernard Shaw really stands out to me at the moment, because it reminds me that I need to be open to change if I want to continue to see progress in the different areas of my business.
And in an effort to accelerate said progress, it’s time to make a change.
When you think about your favorite running movies, what are the first titles that pop in your head?
Chariots of Fire?
McFarland USA?
All fine choices, to be sure, but none of them crack my top 5.
Honestly, the first 5 running movies that pop into my head aren’t even running movies. Read more
Whether you want to admit it or not, if you’re a runner you’re a creature of habit.
We all are.
Once we figure out what works for us on race day, and we do everything we can to avoid deviating from our script.
For me personally, I’ve found that what works for me for longer races is getting up early enough to eat a legitimate breakfast before my race.
And no, a legitimate breakfast isn’t a half of a bagel with a schmear of peanut butter and banana slices on it.
That’s a Good Start…
In my world, a legitimate breakfast is 3-4 eggs, preferably fried but scrambled/omelet works in a pinch, with home fries and grits.
And coffee. Lots of coffee.
Running injuries and strength training exercises for runners are easily two of the topics I talk about most on this website.
Why?
Well, with running injuries it’s what I know the most about and where my real expertise in the running world lies. I may never be the worlds greatest runner or running coach, but if you got a problem, (Yo!) I’ll solve it! (Get it?)
Or at least, I’ll help you solve it.
And strength training gets talked about a fair amount because I think it’s important and I think it can do wonders to help many of the most common running injuries.
But in all of my strength training videos, at least until now, I’ve never mentioned some of the most important exercises you can do to specifically target one of the most overlooked (and thus, most problematic) areas on a runner: the feet.
Not My Feet. Sorry.
