How to Reach your Running Goals in 2017

January 31, 2017 By Heather Blackmon

.

One of the appeals of running is the simplicity — just grab a pair of shoes and go, right? For many of us, following the simple start comes a long list of questions to help become a better runner and reach new goals.

How do you improve as a runner on limited time?What do I need to know about Ragnar?
How do I increase my speed?
Do I need to worry about skin cancer?

If you have running goals in 2017, then the Real Runners Virtual Summit will help you tackle those goals in a safe and strategic way. And I’m thrilled to be one of 23 expert speakers covering topics from hot & cold weather running, injury prevention, strength training for runners, nutrition, and so many more.
You can see the full list of speakers and topics here.

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

⬇️ What is one thing that scares you & how are you working on it?

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?

"Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know i "Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know it at the time." -Mitch Albom

Last Friday, we ventured to a trail near Carbondale for the most beautiful ride with huge wildflowers everywhere. It was a great trail with good climbing, plenty of flow in the middle, and A LOT of switchbacks on the descent. Our first 2 hour ride of the season and it was a blast!

I didn't know it at the time, but it was also the last ride on my Liv mountain bike - because I got a new bike on Sunday! ✨

If you're in Colorado & in the market for a new bike, I highly recommend Over The Edge in Fruita. I test rode 6 bikes & then took the Pivot Mach 5.5 out on the trail to be sure it was the right one. Great experience!!
