Before her half marathon this past weekend, Juliana and Coach Abby had a conversation not about splits or fueling — but about mindset. Specifically, how to find presence and gratitude even in moments of pain.
That race became a reflection of that conversation.
Juliana approached the course not just as an athletic challenge, but as a space to reconnect — with her body, her mind, and the moment itself. Because that’s what endurance events offer: a temporary, sacred pause from the noise of everyday life.
Through discomfort and effort, she stayed grounded — not chasing the finish, but embracing the process.
Juliana’s return to racing is about more than mileage. It’s about intention. Her half marathon training plan was designed to rebuild strength and consistency, but what made the difference was her mindset.
We’re so proud to see her back on the course and can’t wait to support what’s next.
Whether you’re starting fresh, chasing a PR, or building toward your first race, coaching isn’t about perfection — it’s about showing up with purpose.
Let’s train smarter, together. 💪🐕
