Let yoga help you to be a faster, more efficient, and less injured runner! www.runnersloveyoga.tv Do you love running? Then, you should love yoga!

Yoga is an amazing complement to running, and can make you a more efficient, faster, and stronger athlete—in addition to helping prevent injuries. By taking a time-out from competition to direct attention to your breathing and body, yoga can help with stress relief, as well as give you a better awareness of how your body is responding to practices, workouts, and competition. Athletes involved in sports built on the efficiency of repetitive movements, such as running, have even more to gain from yoga. While repetitive motions can reinforce existing imbalances in the body, repetitive actions themselves tend to make the body tighter and more developed in some areas than others. Many runners find that as their mileage increases, or they run more intense or hillier workouts, they become tighter. Ann has worked hard to bring time-efficient yoga and stretching routines to her students in order to allow them to maximize their athletic potential.

The leaves on this iconic Charlottesville long run spot are peaking, so I matched them! 🍁 (If you know where I am, you know!! Love the new parking lot here too!!!)

Wearing the Relay Active Kella Pocket Crop Top in cherry ribbed + the Madison Pocket Shorts in harbour blue colorblock.

What’s your favorite fall long run around Cville? This one is mine in all the seasons: great scenery, not far to drive to, and the best bakery Praha Bohemian Bakery and Cafe for postrun. 🙌

Come run the Virginia 4+ Miler with me—this race is held in conjunction with the very hilly, iconic Virginia 10 Miler which just celebrated its 51st running!! 🎉 Held in Lynchburg (Lynchburg’s nickname is “Hill City” which is no exaggeration—these hills are legit!!!), this challenging race is really a fall classic here in Virginia!

Outfit: Relay Active

Come run the Pittsburgh Penguins 6.6k with me!

Wonderful cause supporting the Mario Lemieux Foundation Mario Lemieux and the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation and kicking off the start of hockey season in Pittsburgh! Love the course which includes a couple bridges, the Southside, and the Armstrong Tunnel too!

Great Sunday in Pittsburgh racing the Pens 6.6k supporting the Mario Lemieux Foundation Mario Lemieux and the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation! Fav team, favorite race, favorite city. Got third for women in 25:40 on a beautiful day! Can’t beat returning to my hometown for this one in my birthday month with this amazing fall weather too.

Enjoyed my cooldown pilgrimage up the hill to August Wilson Park, and postrace brunch at Pittsburgh Café + Bakery with Phillip and my swim friend Emily who also raced!!

Raced my 12th Virginia 4+ Miler today and got second in 27:57 (one second off my time from last year!). This is my seventh time getting second at this race which is also hilarious (that’s almost harder than winning! 😂) Love this race and seeing everybody in the Lynchburg running community—they really put on a spectacular event with the premier event the 10 Miler plus the 4+ Miler too. A super challenging course for both races but tons of course support and cheering the whole way. We also had excellent weather this year in the 50s!

Enjoyed a postrace donut stop at Hill City Donuts Hill City Donuts and a breakfast biscuit stop at Squared Biscuit Co. SQRD BisCo! Great work to all who raced!

Also check out the new limelight kit dropping next Tuesday!!

Got the W in 39:26 today at the Pepsi 10k benefitting the Special Olympics!!! Signed up last night and my running buddy Maggie signed up five minutes before the race started and got second too!! Had a blast supporting this event and cooling down with Maggie!! She’s a medical resident here (and previously ran for U Chicago) and thus tired, and as you know I’m a small business owner and thus tired 😂 so we make excellent running buddies!! 🤣 (We are also devoted to the same long run route followed by bakery routine!)

Got a couple mini Gatorades plus some postrace bakery cookies from Chandler’s at the race too!

This time is not my fastest but while I’m super active with teaching classes and swimming, I’m not really running very much! I ran 18 miles last week (total 😆) and just now checked and my average weekly mileage the last 12 weeks is 22 miles 🤣! I’ve been doing some big work projects that I’m really happy with so this is just what my mileage is right now—happy to know I went that fast on that amount of running (honestly, have been so busy, that I haven’t even had time to even check how many miles I’ve actually been doing until now!!!).

Great, busy day that also included teaching kitten yoga, working at the shop, coming home to Gio (pictured, slide 3-4), short long course swim (still going strong in the outdoor unheated pool for now), plus some more computer work (with two cats on me!).

How I do half the work for Relay Active. 😆

Koozie is super excited about the new rose quartz collection that just launched (I’m wearing the new Kella Pocket Crop Top here), and wants to remind you that 1% of all sales go to animal rescue!

Here’s 3 little bonus movements that I love to add to a wider shorter downdog that really get your whole body! (Had to be fast with this one as the bugs were getting me! Try all of these for longer or more reps than I demo here, and you’ll have yourself a great mini flow for legs and back especially!)

Find 300+ yoga classes with me at Runners Love Yoga TV with a free 10 day trial to kickstart your yoga so you can try everything out too! You can find Runners Love Yoga TV PLUS the iOS and android apps at the link in my bio.

Won the Brookline Breeze 5k this morning! (Also won this one >20 years ago which is just wild!)

Back in Pittsburgh for the weekend and wanted to do this one to add a little speed in (haven’t tried to run fast since my 4th of July race)! So, I’m not at my best high end speed yet (19:42) but I have a great summer base! Going to do some faster stuff more regularly as the fall approaches! Happy with this also as the humidity in Virginia almost wiped me OUT this week!! It was actually pretty horrible trying to stay hydrated enough (I’m not sure I’ve ever sweat so much in my life as I did this past week!!!) and I’m like the electrolyte drinking queen 👸 over here!

The Brookline Breeze wins the award for most wholesome community race. I love this one. The race benefits Brookline Together and you can tell Brookline really cares about Brookline as a community—just good vibes all around at this one. I also love this race because I get to run all the same roads that I did when running back at Seton LaSalle Catholic School! So hilly but I could run around here all day! At Seton, one of our runs was to go to the Brookline Community Center (where this race started) and back!

Postrace: mediterra then swimming pool (where no one was there besides us because it was cloudy)!

Outfit: Relay Active Kella Pocket Crop Top in candy apple + Madison Pocket Shorts in candy apple colorblock.
