Whether you’re training for your first-ever 5K, or an experienced marathoner, your ability to breathe is foundational to every step you take.
When's the last time you thought about your breathing while running?
I don't just mean when you’re running hard, giving it a lot of effort; I mean right from the beginning warm up, throughout the entire run, all the way to the end, including cool down.
When's the last time your breathing dictated the pace of your run?
This is what Breath Running™ is all about. Taking the single most important variable involved in running - your ability to consume and utilize oxygen - and actually making it the priority. Not “a” priority - THE priority.

Coach Sandy
Experience has shown us that there’s no better motivation to getting out of bed in the morning than having your “coach” bark at you, especially if you’re moving too slowly for her liking!
Coach Sandy is our motivation guru. She specializes in trail and beach runs. Any chance we have where we can safely include her in our activities, we try to bring her along to keep us moving with a smile on our face.

About Our Principles
All For One, and One For All
No matter the distance, running can be a grueling test of stamina. Whether running your way through a race course or just around the park, it requires a lot of strength and endurance, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. As hard as it is, it can be a wonderful pathway to a lifestyle that brings joy, health and well-being to damaged bodies, minds and hearts.
