Friendsgiving!!!

Stuffing, pulled pork, casseroles of all kinds, you name it we probably had it!

This is how our gym community shows up for each other! Yes we push each other to challenge ourselves during workouts but we also love to just hang out and carb load! 🤣

Walk or run? 🤔

While you're going to burn a similar amount of calories per mile, running does get the job done faster. However, running can be pretty high impact, possibly leading to frustrating injuries. 🤕

📣 Drop your walking/running tips in the comments!

While running and walking are both good for your health, each has a few benefits over the other, depending on your personal goals. We explain the mechanics of both so you can make educated and helpful choices for your personal workouts.

From the farm animals to the schools, our Alchemists love a good 5K!

We put in a lot of miles this October and we did it together!

It’s National Coffee Day!

There’s research for and against combining coffee with your pre- or pro- workout.

Have you tried it? What was your experience? Discuss!

A post-workout coffee could improve recovery. Learn more about drinking coffee after a workout here, including when and how much, according to dietitians.

Iowa has crazy weather. ☀️🌧☔❄️

There, we said it! Happy?

You'll be even happier when you're less likely to use the weather as an excuse to not run. 🏃‍♀️ (But PLEASE don't run during a thunderstorm ⛈)

Do you have a running goal for this fall? If not, share your fall goal anyway in the comments!

Discover how temperature, humidity, wind, and other weather conditions affect running performance. Learn essential strategies for adapting your running to different weather conditions and optimizing your training year-round.
