Amazing how Sally can say something as badass as “So... yesterday I did 30miles — today I'm gonna run 30 miles” like nothing and with a smile. An inspiration to say the least.
-
I was encouraged by your explanation of splitting up workouts during a busy day with kids. I get discouraged thinking I can’t get out for the miles I had planned, but I could do a better job of problem solving and time management. Every minute counts. Thanks again for sharing.
-
I'm not training for anything like this, but I absolutely agree with the 4am start. Nothing like starting the day early. After a good run before sunrise run, the rest of the day is easy. Now that I'm 55, those 12-13 mile mornings before work and now more like 7-9 miles, but I'm still at it! First video I've watched of yours, and I enjoyed it! Keep it up!
-
Your advice about early morning workouts is so true. I work full time and I’m married with a 3 year old daughter so getting 2 hours of training a day means me waking up super early. On weekends I start my 15-20 mile long runs at 4:30am.
-
I love your philosophy on improving running. Running is a lot more flexible than we think, and aerobic improvement doesn’t have to happen in 1 hr chunks. I’ve had runs where I run commute for 15 minutes, 30 min run at lunch, and commute home. Do what you can, and you will improve!
-
Sally is really amazing. Absolutely love seeing more about her, the training, and the mentality.
-
I’m a recent fan after watching you Cocodona 250 video. I can totally see why you had so many fans in the live stream of that race. Thanks for bringing so many smiles to so many people
-
I’m so happy for you and your husband working together to support each other’s passions. My Wife and I do the same.

I've recently found you and MAN! What a God sent! <3 I'm a mom of four who wakes up at 3 to train (and have for years), to find someone who has walked this path with such grace and strength is so encouraging! Looking forward to following your journey to greater distances and hope you can hear us all cheering you on!

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. 🙌

Sally, I discovered you as an iFIT trainer, and I am so glad I did, because you are an inspiration to me! I started running again a couple of years ago, and I have increased my distances little by little to go beyond what I ever did in my early 20s. I am now 61 and looking at doing my first half marathon in a few months!
-
This video could not have came at a better time! I bought these shorts directly after watching this video and ran a marathon yesterday in them. They felt great and the pockets.... tons of space! Thank you Sally for your content and sharing the shorts with us!
-
Yes!!!! Thank you for encouraging us mamas!! I am 27 with my first baby. 1 year old and ran my first half marathon at 11 months postpartum and trained during postpartum helped me mentally so much! It was tough but worth it ❤ now I’m training for my full marathon and you are a HUGE INSPIRATION 😘 thank you for sharing your journey!!!!
-
Love the vids! Keep em coming!
-
Mom of 4, soon to be 5. Training has been a struggle, but every little bit is progress. My motto has become, if you're moving, you're winning, lol even if it's a quick run or a quick workout, it's all progress.
-
You are never grubby or sweaty or a mess and that was 30 miles! You are extraordinary but nothing is free you have worked tirelessly for these splendid results and I feel God has his hand on your back for his glory! Keep truckin I can’t wait to follow your Cocodona escapade!
-
Love this. So encouraging! I’m running my first half this weekend.
-
once again, love the vibe and overall message
-
I love that you take away excuses in a loving and concrete way. It’s super easy to look at the obstacles without seeing the possibilities. I recall a time when both of my little kids were under the weather (just colds…nothing major) but I needed to fit in a 12-mile run. So I ran 3 miles early morning while they slumbered and then ran 1-mile an hour…being gone 10 min didn’t interfere with cuddles and love and I was able to fit it in. Not ideal, but done. :)

Always appreciate you sharing your wisdom, your life and encouragement!
