Fall race season is officially here. 🍂🏁

And one of our favorite things about looking at where our athletes are racing each month is seeing just how many different things a start line can represent.

For some of our athletes, September is the goal race they’ve spent months preparing for. For others, it’s a tune-up before a fall marathon, a chance to test fitness, practice fueling, chase a PR, return after injury, try a completely new distance, or just have some fun racing again.

There are also athletes who have changed the goal along the way.

Because sometimes you get halfway through a training cycle and realize the race you signed up for no longer makes sense. Sometimes an injury or illness changes the plan. Sometimes life gets fuller. And sometimes what you want from running simply changes.

This summer asked a lot of our athletes. They trained through heat, travel, work, family schedules, injuries, changing goals, and plenty of days when the numbers on the watch probably didn’t reflect the work they were putting in.

Now we get to watch all of those different training stories make their way to September start lines.

Good luck to everyone racing this month. We’ll be cheering loudly. 💛

We want our athletes to get faster. We just don’t want “faster” to be the only thing they gain along the way.

We want more energy. More strength. More confidence. More flexibility when life changes the plan. More trust in their bodies. More years of running ahead of them.

Because our goal isn’t to squeeze the most performance possible out of one training cycle.

It’s to help each athlete pursue the goals that matter to her while building a relationship with running that can last well beyond this season.

There is already plenty of pressure in running to do more, push harder, never miss a day, chase the number on the watch, and measure progress by what you can lose.

We’re much more interested in what our athletes can gain.

And yes, sometimes one of those things is a PR. 😉

What would you most like to gain from your running right now?

08/21/2026

We love a PR, but pace is only one way training reveals itself.

Sometimes the first signs that your training is working are less obvious: you recover better, tolerate more work, fuel more consistently, adapt when things change, and stop letting one bad run be the story of your entire season.

Then one day the fitness gets an opportunity to show itself.

Don’t overlook everything that happened before the clock confirmed it.

Save this for the training block that feels like it’s taking forever.

Kinda chic to let running support your life instead of turning it into another place where you have to perform.

Social media and running culture can make it feel like there is always something else to buy, track, improve, shrink, or prove.

A new outfit. A faster pace. More mileage. Fewer rest days. A body that looks a certain way. A training log that never gets interrupted.

But some of the healthiest choices in this sport are more quiet than that.

Eating enough. Taking the walk break. Wearing the gear you already own. Resting before your body forces you to. Stepping away from comparison. Caring about how the run felt, not how fast it was.

Honestly, that all feels pretty chic to us.

What would you add to the list?

Have the World Marathon Majors been somewhere in the back of your mind, but you’re not quite sure how the whole process works?

Next week, Coach Debra and TSR athlete Abigail are sitting down for a free live conversation about navigating the majors and the Six Star journey.

They’ll talk through what makes each race unique, the different ways runners can gain entry, race-weekend logistics, how Abbott tracks your progress, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

We’ll also leave time for live Q&A, so bring your questions.

Details:

⭐️ Wednesday, July 29th
⭐️ 5 pm PDT / 8 pm EDT
⭐️ Live on Zoom!

Comment MAJORS and we’ll send you the registration link.

This webinar is open to anyone who is curious about the majors, so feel free to send this to a friend or training partner, too.

We had so much fun at our first SoCal TSR Run Club that we’re doing it again ☀️

On May 31st, Coaches Lindsey and Jessica are hosting another casual community run, this time in Newport Beach, CA.

This is not just for TSR athletes.

Whether you’re training for a race, getting back into running, run/walking, new to the sport, or just looking for good people to move with, you are welcome here.

We’ll plan on running 3-6 miles at conversational effort with all paces welcome.

One of our favorite parts of the last run club was meeting new people and instantly connecting. That’s exactly the kind of community we want to keep building through these meetups.

Here are the details:

📍Castaways Park, 700 Dover Drive, Newport Beach
🗓️ May 31st

And if you can stick around afterwards, we’ll grab some coffee together!

A lot of women who are stuck in a plateau think they need to either push harder or become more disciplined to finally break through.

But more often, the issue is that their training no longer matches the season of life they are actually in or has stopped adapting with them.

Annie was balancing training alongside a busy job, 3 young kids, and all the unpredictability that comes with that stage of life, while also trying to chase a goal she had been stuck just short of for a while.

One of the biggest shifts during this cycle was not just the workouts themselves, but having more communication, feedback, and support throughout the process. Instead of second guessing every run, she was able to focus on building consistency and trust in the work she was doing.

Even after getting pneumonia early on in her build, she stayed patient, adjusted when needed, and continued showing up.

At Napa Valley Half Marathon, Annie ran her fastest half marathon since before having her third child and finally broke through the 1:55 barrier, finishing in 1:53 🔥🎉.

If you’re looking for coaching that feels supportive, collaborative, and realistic for the season you’re in, comment MATCH and we’ll send you our coach match quiz 💛

Motherhood changes the way running fits into life.

For a lot of women, it becomes less about chasing perfect training and more about finding small moments that still feel like their own in the middle of taking care of everyone else.

Over the years, we’ve coached so many mothers through seasons of exhaustion, identity shifts, changing priorities, busy schedules, interrupted sleep, and the constant balancing act that comes with trying to care for both themselves and the people they love.

And one thing we’ve seen over and over again is that even small acts of showing up for yourself matter.

To all of the moms in our community, we’re really proud of you and everything you carry that most people never fully see.

And to anyone who finds today complicated in any way, we’re thinking of you too 💛

This is the stretch where the spring racing season starts to come to a close before summer arrives.

For a lot of our athletes, that means stepping into races they’ve been building toward for months, while others are showing up after navigating injury, illness, or just the reality of a full life.

There are athletes chasing PRs, athletes coming back after time off or surgery, and athletes who are choosing to race without pressure and just enjoy being out there again.

There are also athletes who have had to adjust their training along the way, figuring things out as they go, and continuing to show up even when it hasn’t felt perfect.

That’s what this month really reflects.

Not every race is about proving something. Sometimes it’s about seeing where you’re at, sometimes it’s about rebuilding, and sometimes it’s about closing out a season feeling strong, steady, and proud of the work that got you there.

We’re really proud of how our athletes are showing up this month, not just on race day, but in everything it took to get here.
