| Last week I was talking to a patient of mine about his new years goals He was saying how he wanted to get faster and lose some weight Pretty vague stuff. Nothing that really inspires action. Him and I are working on his running form and speed but he doesn’t really have anything to strive for So I asked him, “Would you sign up for an upcoming 5K? There’s one at Stride Fitness in Wilmette on Saturday January 27th at 11:30am.” It didn’t take him long to reply with a resounding “Yes! Let’s do it!” And just like that, he had a whole new energy and intention for our session. The rest of our conversation and session revolved around getting him fit and ready for that race Consider the 2024 training season kickstarted Actually signing up and putting something on the calendar just feels different It gives you that fire in the belly to get your act together On days when you don’t feel like running or working out, you think about the looming date only a few weeks ahead and you get going Whatever distance you want to do, sign up for a race, and train for it You can do it If you want an upcoming, convenient, indoor, and free option, Stride Fitness in Wilmette will be having a 5K on Saturday January 27th at 11:30 am ! 5K will take place on the wonderful Woodway treadmills at the Stride Fitness studio Indoor on Woodway treadmills = 0% chance of freezing rain How to signup for FREE: 1.

| This year I’m going to start making more workouts on YouTube. I’m going to be making at home cross training workouts that you can follow along with. The intention is to perform the workouts after a short run. This is my first one of the year and if I’m being honest, it’s a little too hard. Don’t do this workout after a long run. Just a short one. Equipment needed: Heavy-ish weight (ex. 30lbs) Light-ish weight (ex. 15lbs) Subscribe to the YouTube channel if you wanna see more and if you have any feedback, I would love to hear it!
