I am so appreciative of all the love and support you extended to me regarding last night’s post. I feel extremely grateful that I can share content in the bucket of recipes/workouts/useful stuff as well as the more personal/life/yoga/growth stuff and feel that you’re on board no matter what and that we’re all growing stronger inside and out through it all. <3
Speaking of workouts. it’s been a while since I shared one with you. I’ve got a killer treadmill workout for you today along with an amazing playlist to power you through it. I came up with this treadmill workout while I was at the gym last weekend and I knew that I had to share it here. I love to kick off my lifting sessions with some treadmill interval work when I have the time. I find that my body feels so much better lifting when I’m already warm and sweaty.
First, let’s talk about the tunes for the workout. I don’t know about you but I need a SERIOUSLY motivating playlist when I’m on the treadmill. I think you’ll love this one.
And for the workout…it’s a treadmill interval workout that features blocks of work with both hills and sprints. It’s 30 minutes and you should cover 3+ miles over the course of the run.
The whole theme behind this workout is increasing intensity as the workout goes on, which is my personal favorite way to work. I’ve separated the workout into six, five-minute blocks. There is one block for warm up and one for cool down and the other four alternate between hill and sprint work. Within the working blocks there are two 90 second pushes and two 60-second recovery periods.
Note that the suggested inclines and speeds here are just suggestions and you can totally adjust them up or down to meet your needs.
This one is sweaty, challenging and fun. Try it out and report back!
Current favorite running song? I am LOVING that Imagine Dragons song, Believer!

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]

I’m going to get really real right away. I wish I could say that I was feeling excited and confident about the race but [...]
