You read that right! It's our newest workout plan! 

If you love our She Sweats 12-Week Transformation, you will love our She Sweats 12-Week Run Builder workout, especially if you are a runner! We partnered with Moms RUN This Town to create a workout plan geared toward helping you build and maintain muscle while keeping your running shoes laced up. 

What You Should Know About the She Sweats 12-Week Run Builder:

  1. The plan focuses on keeping you running while introducing strength training into your routine. You won't have to give up the miles and pavement (or trails) that you love so much for the sake of strength training. We suggest following the workout to a "T" to gain maximum value and allow your body to work to its full potential.
  2. The plan is currently available in both a gym version AND an at-home version. We have eliminated your excuses!
  3. Included in the plan are:
    1. 12 weeks of workout plans, including rest days, cardio/run training with mileage suggestions and abdominal training. The workout plans tell you exactly what exercises to do, the number of reps and the intensity to which you should be working at. 
    2. Our philosophy behind incorporating weight training alongside your run training.
    3. Logs for tracking both your strength and cardio training, as well as actual weight used and general feelings for the day's workout.
    4. What items are commonly on our grocery list and a sample for timing your daily meals.
    5. Information about what to eat before and after a workout.
    6. 4 HIIT Routines.
  4. The strength training workouts are designed to be accomplished in approximately 45-70 minutes in the gym on strength days - time will vary based on day and segment. Run days will take you approximately 30-45 minutes with 15 minutes of abdominal/core training. 
  5. Equipment required/suggested to complete the At-home version is as follows:
    1. Dumbbells of varying sizes - we recommend at least 2 different size sets.
    2. Stability Ball.
    3. Resistance Bands.
    4. Flat Surface or Workout Bench (Coffee tables work great with a towel to double as a workout bench.)

As with all of our workouts, the workout is available to you for download IMMEDIATELY. There is NO waiting for the program - NO waiting to reach your goals - NO excuses! 

Feel free to comment or ask any questions that you might have. We are so excited about this new workout and we hope that you are too!

Wondering if this workout will work for you? Not sure yet? Here are some testimonials from our other She Sweats Workouts:

I'm starting to see my booty is looking nice, tighter and rounder!

It's happening.....SUCCESS! I am seeing the changes. Loving my legs, shoulders -and dare I say it....ABS

I am also a runner (2 marathons, 7 half marathons and a few sprint tri's). Finished the 12 week challenge and now on week 2 of the extreme. DO NOT PAY ATTN TO THE SCALE! People approach me asking me how much weight I have lost. I have lost no weight! I am toned though and have defined arms. This program works. It was mentally challenging for me at first because I was used to the "runners high" and a major cardio junky. However, wasn't getting the results I wanted. This program will give it to you if you follow it. What you eat is also key. Don't give up!!!!

I just finished week 9 thinking I would have lost plenty of pounds. But not a single one. However, I have a fabulous butt, some really nice defined arms and some sexy abs.

I'm just starting wk 9 & a couple wks ago I looked in the mirror, and said "wow"! I'm not to my goals but can definitely see things changing. I haven't dropped a single pound & may have actually put on a couple. It's that switch in your mind set that the scale number isn't always the best. I've also ran half marathons & I feel like I'm stronger, more fit than I've ever been compared to doing them.

Choosing the Right Sports Bra for You

Runners Resources, Workout TipsWhitney Carlson2 Comments

We have all seen those cute little sports bras that look more like something you may want to sleep in vs. something you could actually break a sweat in. They look adorable and for a moment, you may consider them, but will they really give you the support you need to really kick your workout up a notch?

Cup Size REALLY does matter! (Okay, only in the world of buying bras people!) Take this guide along next time you go shopping for a sports bra.

How to Choose the Right Sports Bra

A-B Cups

Smaller chested women can really wear any sports bra, however, the activity type will be one of the most important factors here. Compression-type sports bras are ideal for women with A or B cups - either scoop back or racer back. Bear in mind that you will have more support with a racer back and thicker straps. So if you are running, you may opt for a racer back with larger straps vs. a cute thin-strapped scoop back bra for Pilates or barre class.

C-D Cups

Ladies that are a little bustier than their A-B friends, will need to pay more attention to the coverage area that their sports bra provides. Women that are a little bustier may benefit from a combination compression and encapsulation sports bra. Again, function is everything when you are thinking about sports bras - wear your most movement minimizing bra for higher impact workouts like HIIT or step aerobics. Keep the lower-coverage bras for lifting weights or yoga.

Compression/Encapsulation Combination Sports Bras

 DD+ Cups

If you are bustier, you may have a hard time finding a bra that actually minimizes your movement no matter what activity you are participating in. For women with larger D or DD and larger cup sizes, the key to your sports bra is encapsulation! You need a sports bra in a high performance fabric that's actually made similarly to your everyday bras - with two molded cups and thick, dependable straps.
