So You Want to Start Running

Recently this amazing thing happened. A few of our family members and friends have decided they want to start running on a consistent basis and have come to us to help them start on the wonderful adventure awaiting them. Most of their questions have been the same so I figured it might be good to get a post out there for all of you who are inspired to get out the door this summer, but have no clue where to start. Hopefully by looking at this post you can feel confident in what you need, what you can skip over, and what you should expect as you start running.

6 Months of Stroller Strides

Now that we have added Ellie to #TeamMcMILEan we have had to learn how to incorporate stroller running into our training and race life. Thus far it has been an adventure and learning curve to say the least however with the transition of her to sitting up and looking out on runs versus having to be in the car seat looking directly up at the sky I think we are on course for more success. As with so many things in the parenting realm I never knew how DIFFICULT stroller running could be before actually having to do it myself. I am not talking about the physical component of having to push this massive thing in front of you without tripping up as you stride, I am referring to all the other factors that go into it that you probably would never think about (because I sure as heck didn’t) until you have to experience them on a daily basis.
