Fitness is where many people begin their journey for change. Movement clears your mind, boosts your energy, and builds strength in ways you can see and feel. It’s one of the most accessible ways to feel better in life.

Improving your fitness goes beyond improving your body—it’s about growth and building a foundation for growth, both physically and mentally. But growth also brings moments of real discomfort.

The kind that tempts you to quit.

True growth doesn’t come from doing what’s easy; it comes from leaning into those uncomfortable challenges that stretch you in ways you didn’t know were possible.

I’ve been fascinated by habits and behavior change long before I became a coach.

As a game designer, I spent years exploring how systems and mechanics shaped player experiences. One of the biggest challenges was evolving new gameplay systems that worked despite the lifetime of gaming habits players brought with them—like how to jump, pause, or aim.

Now, as a coach and behavior change specialist, I understand habits on a much deeper level. Habits are the foundation of who we are. They’re the routines and actions that move us through life, often without us even realizing it.

Raise your hand if you’ve got too much stuff. I know I do.

I’m not an extreme minimalist, but I do try to live pretty simply. Over the years, I’ve moved a lot, often with little time to prepare, so I learned how to live small. With each move, I downsized, getting rid of things I thought I didn’t need. At one point, I could fit my entire life into a van.

And yet, somehow, at every move, I always ended up asking myself the same question: How did I end up with all this stuff again?

This weekend, I stopped by my local running store, and it was packed with people buying new shoes to kick off their running season. Everywhere I looked, someone was testing a pair, getting their feet scanned, or asking questions about features they didn’t quite understand.

At first glance, the process can feel overwhelming—so many brands, styles, and tools to help you decide. But buying the right running shoes doesn’t have to be complicated. With a little knowledge, you can find the perfect pair to keep you comfortable, confident, and injury-free.

We’re just over a week into the new year. As things return to their normal rhythm, it’s a great time to reflect on the fresh start. Did you set any resolutions or goals for yourself? Maybe you’ve made progress, or perhaps it’s been harder to stick with them than you expected.

If you’ve already struggled to keep up, don’t worry—you’re not alone. On average, about 25% of people who set resolutions abandon them in the first week of the new year.

As we step into 2025, many people are dreaming big right now. Maybe it’s getting in shape, landing a promotion, starting a new hobby, or taking that dream vacation. But how many will actually take action instead of letting this year become another forgettable one?

As the year winds down, it’s the perfect moment to consider what’s next. 2025 is a blank slate, brimming with opportunities to grow, achieve, and live boldly. The way you finish 2024, though, can set the stage for everything that follows.

2025 is just weeks away, and it’s time to ask yourself: will this be another year of putting your health and energy on hold, or will it be the year you finally take control and prioritize the goals that matter most to you?

As the New Year approaches, many of us reflect on what’s next: the goals we want to set, the changes we want to make, and the life we want to build. But here’s a reality we often overlook: waiting until the New Year to start can leave us playing catch-up before we even begin.

As the year winds down, it’s the perfect time to think about what’s next. 2025 is a blank canvas, full of opportunities to live bigger, feel better, and tackle your goals with renewed purpose. But here’s the challenge: every day you wait to prioritize your health makes starting feel harder, and the potential rewards seem farther away.

With 2025 approaching, it’s natural to reflect on the year ahead—the goals we want to achieve, the habits we want to build, and the life we want to live.

If you've ever wondered whether working with a running coach could benefit you, you're not alone. Many people associate coaching with elite athletes or school sports, but the truth is, that a running coach can be a valuable asset for runners of all levels.

Beliefs are powerful. They shape how we see challenges, define our potential, and impact the goals we chase.

What if running was more than just logging miles or crossing finish lines? What if it was the key to unlocking more energy, balance, and confidence in your life? As we approach 2025, now is the perfect time to rethink the way you see running—not as a chore, but as a tool to transform not just your fitness, but your mindset and the way you approach life itself.

With the holiday season here and 2025 right around the corner. Now is a great time to start thinking about what you to accomplish. What if next year could be the one where you prioritize your health, create more energy in your life, and take big steps to create a richer, more adventurous life?

For busy professionals, fitting running into an already packed schedule can feel overwhelming. Between work, family, and everything else, it’s easy to let your goals slide to the back burner. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

For busy professionals, running goals often take a backseat to the demands of work, family, and everything else life throws your way. It’s easy to feel like you just don’t have the time or energy to train.

The finish line isn’t just where the race ends—it’s where a new version of you begins. It’s about more than the the miles you’ve run or the time you’ve logged. It’s about proving to yourself that you’re capable of tackling big challenges and coming out stronger on the other side.

Does this sound familiar?

You’re juggling work, family, and a packed schedule, and every time you think about running, the thought pops up: “I just don’t have time.” For busy professionals, this is one of the most common obstacles to achieving fitness and race goals.

Many people dream of running a race, whether it’s a 5K or something bigger, but feel like they’re starting too far behind to make it happen. Maybe the idea of getting fit feels overwhelming, or past failures hold you back. I’ve seen firsthand how structure and support can break down those barriers.
