Hey Reader, Welcome to Week 7. Just two more weeks to go! Congrats to Jess, who completed the None to Run plan last week. ππ In case you missed itβWeek 6's emailβ This Week's Recommended Reading:βOvercome Mental Hurdles: 9 Tips for New Runnersβ Your brain might be the biggest barrier between you and running longer. With these 9 science-backed mental strategies from a sport psychologist, you'll learn exactly how to outsmart negative thoughts, stay motivated, and finally break through those frustrating mental blocks. Tip from Coach Mark:Wise words from a community member here: βI remember feeling like the 30-second walk breaks were absolutely brutal in Weeks 7-8, but those 2 weeks definitely do the job of getting you ready for Week 9 and beyond!β βThe road to success is always under construction.β β Lily Tomlin β QUESTION OF THE WEEKQUESTION: If I miss one day of the plan (like one run or strength) because of illness, etc, does that keep me from earning the actual badge at the end of the plan, like the 10k badge if there are any unmarked items? COACH MARK: Life happens, and progress is rarely perfect. If you miss a run (or a strength workout), you can manually mark them complete so that you receive your badge. Just press and hold down the workout you missed until you see "Mark as Complete". And then....share that badge with pride! Have a great week, Mark P.S.

Hey Reader, Tips, inspiration, more on our research study....lots to talk about this week! Let's dive in. I Started Running at 82. I'd Never Run Before. Marian Leicester started running at 82! She tried Couch to 5K first and found it too aggressive. Then she found None to Run, completed all 12 weeks without repeating a single week, and never got injured. She kept the whole thing a secret for weeks and ran early mornings so nobody would see her. Her story is one of the most inspiring...
Hey Reader, I want to share something I hear a lot from people who find None to Run: "I thought I was too old to start." And I get it. There's a lot of messaging out there that makes running feel like something you should have started in your 20s β or that it gets harder and harder the older you get. But here's what I actually believe: starting to run in your 50s might be the smartest athletic decision you've ever made. Not in spite of your age. Because of it. You know yourself better than...
Hey Reader, You are β of the way through the challenge - give yourself a big high five! In case you missed it Week 5's email This Week's Recommended Reading: It's Not Getting Easier....Help! If you're weeks into your running journey and it still feels brutally hard, this one's for you. Tip from Coach Mark: Never judge a run by the first five minutes.
