How I Stopped Peeing Myself While Running

Its no secret, if you follow me and have throughout my postpartum journey that I had a pretty serious issue of peeing myself when I started back up with running. Now I had a slight issue with this previous to getting pregnant and would pee when I would sneeze and often when I would run as well but it was much less severe. After having Skylar it was much much worse to the point where during the first couple of runs it was literally running down my legs…. talk about embarrassing, cold, and just not fun. In this blog I talked about a few things that worked for me in helping me to gain more strength in my pelvic floor.

Running With Purpose

Ever feel stuck with your running? You had made a bunch of improvements, maybe had a massive couple of Personal Bests yet all of the sudden you've hit a plateau and aren't getting any faster? Plateaus can be very frustrating because we as a society always want to improve. This little article is not all about the barriers of training that may be affecting your running, that is a whole different set of tips. Today I wanted to share with you some tips to run a little bit faster and break through that feeling of you've hit a wall with your training.

6 Tips To Running Faster Off The Bike

Being fast in an Ironman (both 1406. and 70.3 distances) really comes down to who can to who is the one who slows down the least. It is very common that around the late stages of a race all of the sudden the wheels fall off and pace drops. Running off the bike seems so easy, you just run right? So why is it that you as you work through your training all of the sudden it seems like you are getting slower during your running. You up your run mileage and it doesn’t seem to help… Running efficiently and in turn faster off the bike is more than just running more; there are a lot of little other factors involved with running faster off the bike. Check out my 6 tips to running faster off the bike!!

Race Simulations: Why We Love Them

A race simulation doesn’t always have to be a complete day that is treated like a race but merely a specific workout say your long Sunday run where you do it at race pace effort, or even just a bike done with large portions at race pace effort. Now you can’t, and don’t want to do these types of training days, all the time because our bodies would break down but strategically placed they can be very beneficial.
