Testimonials:

“I spent so many years chasing PRs in order to make my body smaller and prove myself. For a while that worked, but eventually I pushed too hard and my body fought back. After a long break, I wanted to run again, but I was scared of falling back into the disordered patterns I had before. BALG was the perfect thing! I'm learning to focus on running for my own personal best effort and to let go of the times and paces and "shoulds." I'm falling in love with running, but I'm also setting myself up to do it for a lifetime because I'm listening to my body instead of just a plan. These lessons are translating to how I treat myself outside of running. The support I receive from the other BALG ladies is essential. We're all working towards similar things and facing similar struggles. When someone is down, we're there to pick each other back up. I have nothing but positive things to say about this group. BALG forever!”

-Katie G.

“I’ve been a runner for four years. Covid totally threw a wrench into my routine, including my running. I joined the BALG winter 2021 running group looking for some extra motivation to start running again. What I found was an incredible group of women cheering me on virtually every step of the way. I’ve learned so much about myself while running with the BALG, most importantly that I can do way more than I give myself credit for. I’ve found my joy for running again and cannot thank the BALG enough.”

-Sarah M.

“The BALG family is an awesome group that truly welcomes everyone. No one cares about your pace or the distance you ran. I really appreciate that this group focuses on being bad ass athletes that celebrate moving our bodies in ways that make us feel good.

Kelly's training plans are by far the best I have ever used. They have everything you need to run your best race. I never ran hills or did speed work before and now it’s one of my favorite parts. My other favorite part is the journal prompts and guides on digging into your why.

I know I can pick any plan and know it was put together by someone who understands that I’ve never planned on running to win first (or even 20th) but that I am still serious about running. That I am out there to challenge myself, get stronger and have fun.”

The BALG family is the best! Everyone is so welcoming and is always rooting for you.”
