A giant misconception that all runners love to run, that all run days are good. As a runner (having ran cross-country in high school, half-marathons in college, and — I can hardly believe it myself — an actual marathon in 2018), I can tell you that’s hardly the case. I used to get so much anxiety the night before my runs, and now, two years after giving birth to my daughter Zoe, the thought of picking up running again can feel like an overwhelming challenge.
The key is to be consistent, to make time for it — and I have Run29 to hold me accountable. It’s an opportunity that has allowed me to craft a plan — a schedule, if you will — that will help me get back into running (for no other reason than to run again), complete with rest days and strength training (allowing your body to rest and exercising different muscles will help supplement your run days). Follow along, customize it to fit your needs and wants, and most importantly, listen to your body. Because running is a journey — which, as cheesy as it sounds, is pretty much a metaphor for life.
Before you embark on Run29 with me, watch this video first — a quick spotlight on Nike Run Club Coach Bec Wilcock, whose incredible running tips will make you a better, stronger runner.

WHY I LOVE IT: This is my homebase. It’s close to my house, so it’s familiar, and the beauty of running The Strand is that you can make it as short — or as long — as you like. You run the distance you want to run and then turn around. It connects all the beaches along the coast. So, to ease into this challenge, I’m running a simple one-miler close to home. I love running by the beach — there’s nothing more relaxing than looking at the water (and pro tip: being near the ocean is cooler in temperature, which is always a plus in
Los Angeles).

2 teaspoons of chia seeds
Throw everything into a blender with ice, and blend!

DAY 04
So, I have a confession: I actually really hate yoga (I have no patience), but I know it’s good for my body. It’s an important companion exercise to running because it stretches out your body and helps you become a stronger runner. The Nike Training Club app lets you filter yoga flows by mobility, target areas (your hamstrings, lower back, hips, and glutes), and duration, which makes yoga days much more tolerable — and even fun.
MY YOGA PICK: 20-min Yoga: Runner’s Flow with Traci Copeland
FOCUS: Full body mobility & leg stability
GOAL: To release tension and strengthen legs

WHY I LOVE IT: Other than one little hill, this route is pretty flat. I love this one because it’s an easy, fun, distracting run — perfect for people-watching and looking at houses. And since it’s a circle, you can stop at any time and just walk.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Easy

DAY 06
strength
I like to schedule at least one yoga and one strength-training day for every week that I run. Strength training is crucial because it builds up your balance and core — and without it, you would be putting too much pressure on your joints and legs, which could potentially result in run-related injuries.
TRAINING PICK: Runner Stability
FOCUS: Core strength, hip stability
GOAL: To improve core and hips
rest
DAY 07
Getting a massage is honestly my favorite kind of rest day. But as much as it is a pampering, self-care kind of a treat, it’s also crucial in relieving muscle tightness and improving circulation (at least that’s what I like to tell myself).

WHY I LOVE IT: This one’s a good elevation challenge — it’s basically one big hill. I think any sort of elevation is good because it helps you practice your breathing and different muscles. But don’t push yourself to run the whole thing — walk when it feels too steep (and this one’s great for people-watching when you do stop for a breather).
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Medium

Today is dedicated to stretching — the Nike Training Club app has a ton of quick, 10-minute stretches that cater to whatever area needs attention (my pick for the day: the 5-minute low-body mobility Hottie Stretch with Megan Thee Stallion).

Debs Park Loop
DAY 10
WHY I LOVE IT: This is a true trail run (in other words, you’re running on a dirt path), which I like because it helps train your body to run on different types of terrain — it feels like you’re working different muscles (and also, dirt paths are easier on your knees). The downside is that running on a dirt path can be rather unpredictable, so pay attention to where your feet land. I love this run because it feels like you’re in nature — there are eucalyptus trees all around you — and unlike Runyon Canyon, it’s less of a scene. It’s more meditative and quiet.

I love that there’s strong running community at The Strand, and everyone is always so encouraging. This one’s the longest run, but it’s also my favorite, because it’s by the beach (my favorite), and it’s rather neat to see how far I’m able to run, compared with the very first day.
