Training in a warm environment gently elevates heart rate, challenges breathing, and teaches the body and mind to stay calm under stress – which can come in handy if you face unexpected heat on Event Day.
When training feels overwhelming, yoga offers an effective way to reset both body and mind. Combining breathwork and mindful movement, it helps regulate your nervous system, release tension, and build resilience.
Reformer Pilates is a game-changing cross-training tool for runners at every level – whether you want to build a foundation, sharpen your form, prevent an injury or recover from one. Just one or two sessions a week can transform your stride and keep you strong.
Running looks different for both Sydney Cassidy and Lara Sullivan, but the outcome is the same; it’s helped them better understand their minds. For Sydney, diagnosed with ADHD, it slows her racing thoughts and offers emotional regulation. For Lara, diagnosed with autism, the rhythm provides calm and clarity before sensory overload sets in. Together, they share how movement helps them manage their mental health.
