But there's also a lot that they DO do that you and I can learn from. You don't have to be a pro to pursue the happiest, healthiest version of yourself. But you also can't wake up and expect that person to appear. Day by day. Brick by brick. We're responsible for laying the work. Maybe we don't have the Olympics to prepare for... but we have this one life. & that's pretty monumental too. So let me ask you… What changes will you make this week that yourself 6 months from today will benefit from? #teammindfulmiles #thisisaboutrunning #thisisntaboutrunning https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb3754f77305c1462c670f3/1624292479141-DXBFNOB08IUSJAJ3ZG6G/3.png Gear, Tips & Tricks - 5 Things We Can Learn from professional athletes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb3754f77305c1462c670f3/1624292479215-RSW44WAN2Y1QCZEKEFI0/4.png Gear, Tips & Tricks - 5 Things We Can Learn from professional athletes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb3754f77305c1462c670f3/1624292479556-6WZR5CJR02TBPGJA36DT/5.png Gear, Tips & Tricks - 5 Things We Can Learn from professional athletes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb3754f77305c1462c670f3/1624292479800-W0Q2LCCAVARBRM691FFZ/6.png Gear, Tips & Tricks - 5 Things We Can Learn from professional athletes https://mindfulmiles.com/gear-tips-tricks/willpower-budgeting-and-how-it-will-help-you-run-more-consistently monthly 0.5 2021-06-14 https://mindfulmiles.com/gear-tips-tricks/how-do-i-start-running monthly 0.5 2021-04-20 https://mindfulmiles.com/gear-tips-tricks/why-im-ditching-the-humble-brag monthly 0.5 2020-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb3754f77305c1462c670f3/1590758926703-CRDEV7GD0X2A4RHD43E8/FullSizeRender.jpg Gear, Tips & Tricks - Why I’m Ditching the Humble Brag https://mindfulmiles.com/gear-tips-tricks/quick-amp-easy-tips-for-shin-splints monthly 0.5 2020-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb3754f77305c1462c670f3/1589938696378-GBT4N3O4O53H01TV3WRR/IMG_5615.jpeg Gear, Tips & Tricks - Quick & Easy Tips for Shin Splints - Massage & Ice: To massage your shins you can use your hands, a foam roller, or a cold soda can. Lightly rolling something over your shins will help them recover quicker. Make sure you don’t apply too much pressure to start and slowly increase the intensity over time. One tool I LOVE to use is the Polar Roller, it’s an ice massage ball I found on Amazon. I keep it in my freezer and use it anytime I want to use ice massage on sore muscles. Side note, if you wake up with eyes bags or a puffy face, this works as a nice de-puff facial massager as well. An additional tool I love for multi-purpose use is The Stick. Many people refer to this as a toothbrush for your muscles. I like to use it on my shins as a rehab and on my calves and quads before and after runs. I linked the exact one I use but I believe there’s cheaper ones available on Amazon as well. Another ice massage option is to fill a Dixie Cup with water and pop it in the freezer. Once it’s completely frozen, peel the paper of the cup back and begin to massage your shins with the ice. It’s a little messier but works just as well and is a bit cheaper than the Polar Roller. Throwing an ice pack on your shins works just fine as well but incorporating ice massage will help you to feel better faster. If you’re interested in the ice cup treatment watch this video to learn more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb3754f77305c1462c670f3/1589938419999-PFS63NWNK3MFJ8COMORI/IMG_5594.jpg Gear, Tips & Tricks - Quick & Easy Tips for Shin Splints - Stretch: There are many ways to stretch your shins but this way is my favorite because it’s easy to do. While standing, put one leg behind you and flip your foot so that the top of your toes are touching the ground then lean back. The further back you lean the more intense the stretch will feel. https://mindfulmiles.com/gear-tips-tricks/runningshoes monthly 0.5 2020-05-17 https://mindfulmiles.com/gear-tips-tricks/why-i-started-mindful-miles monthly 0.5 2020-05-22 https://mindfulmiles.com/gear-tips-tricks/soul-h2b48 monthly 0.5 2020-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb3754f77305c1462c670f3/1589159166297-FVRAYE038BFMDQNBBZHK/IMG_5472.jpeg Gear, Tips & Tricks - Hydrating during long runs Photo taken from my Instagram highlights when I was training for my first marathon https://mindfulmiles.com/about daily 0.75 2020-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb3754f77305c1462c670f3/1588854599647-9OLW31M6J8J8768QGLQ8/ACS_0117.jpg About MM - When I was training for my first marathon I would finish my weekly long runs with an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment. I’d never felt so incredibly proud of myself, so invincible, like there was nothing I couldn’t do. I think what made that feeling so sweet was that I did it for me and the only way I was successful was because of me. No one did the hard work for me. I heaved, I cried, I put in the work. I made it to the place I thought I could never (and would never) go, and then I kept going. That feeling became addicting and I learned to chase it everywhere. In my training of course, but also in my personal and professional life. I’m here today to help you find that feeling. We’re all so incredibly capable of doing things bigger than we imagine. We’re so powerful and don’t even realize the size of the mountains we will move yet. I’m not here to change your life, that’s on you. I’m here to share my stories, give you some guidance, to cheer you on, and to help you figure out what’s next — one step at a time. So let’s get running! I encourage you to journal, take photos, do something to help you remember these moments and milestones because with each step, with each mile, you’re getting closer to the invincible person you are destined to be. I can’t wait to see you at the finish line, and to cheer you on through all of the finish lines. Thank you for being on this journey with me. -Coach Sara, Mindful Miles Running https://mindfulmiles.com/home daily 1.0 2021-08-02 https://mindfulmiles.com/team-meetings daily 0.75 2021-06-23 https://mindfulmiles.com/coaching daily 0.75 2025-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb3754f77305c1462c670f3/1615995569246-DTH4WNNB2Z8FA6F8RNQK/DANIELRO-PHOTOS-SARA-RUNNER-1.jpg Coaching - this is for you if… You want to run—but not at the expense of your joy, your body, or your life outside of running. You’re tired of all-or-nothing thinking and want to finally feel good living in the gray. You’ve spent years chasing metrics, smaller jeans, or finish lines, but deep down you know that’s not the whole story. You’re ready to build confidence, self-trust, and habits that last—even on the days you don’t feel like lacing up. You want a community where running is about more than pace and distance: it’s about mental health, growth, and showing up as your full self.
