I started Strength Running in 2010 to share my passion, expertise, and love of running with the world.
For over four years, SR has grown in leaps and bounds and I’m thrilled that today I can help tens of thousands of runners get stronger, stay healthy, and race faster.
But even though I’ve coached thousands of runners and my work has been featured in major media like Competitor, Runner’s World, and Yahoo Health, I’ve realized that SR isn’t just about me.
The accolades and press are nice – but what I really care about is you. I want to help you accomplish your running goals, achieve enormous results, and stay inspired to train smart.
And the inspiration piece of running can’t be ignored.
Inspiration is why we run breathtaking trails in the wilderness.
Inspiration to run down our dreams is why we lace up our shoes on cold, dark, tired mornings.
Inspiration causes us to chase new personal bests or run ultramarathon distances.
Without inspiration, we wouldn’t set goals that scare us. We couldn’t be consistent, run hard workouts, or challenge ourselves.
If running didn’t inspire us to become better versions of ourselves, we wouldn’t run. And where’s the fun in that?
Today, I’m excited to announce a free resource that will inspire the hell out of you and make you fall in love with running all over again.
Get it here. I think you’ll love it.
50 Quotes To Inspire You to Run Down Your Dreams
A few short months ago, I asked Strength Running’s Facebook community what they loved about running.
The answers poured in and I realized I needed to take this question to a larger audience. So I asked you on the blog: What do you love about running?
The post now has over 90 comments, some of which are shockingly emotional but all of which get me excited to run.
I believe it’s a disservice to the effort you put in to answer this question to just leave your answers in the blog comments. We can do more.
As you’re reading this, many of those quotes are being assembled into a gorgeous digital book that will be yours to keep, for free. I’m spending hundreds of dollars on this because I think it will be awesome – and I hope you’ll like it.
The book includes personal photography from all around the world with no stock images. You’ll see images from Cape Cod and Maui to the jungles of Australia and the mountains of Colorado.
I’m thrilled to unveil the book soon in the Runner’s Gear Bag. If you’re new to SR, the Gear Bag is a collection of free, private resources available to subscribers. Sign up here (or in the blue box on the right sidebar) and you’ll get access to everything:

Sign up here and you’ll get the new digital book 50 Quotes to Inspire You to Run Down Your Dreams.
What I truly love about this new addition to SR is that it’s 100% original: my photography with YOUR reasons for loving running. It’s a beautiful combination that inspires me to fall in love with running all over again, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
It’s my privilege to continue helping you become a better runner. Thank you for being here and I’ll let you know as soon as the book is ready.
