If you\u2019re ready to discover how resilient you are both physically and mentally, you won\u2019t want to miss Beachbody\u2019s new 30-day running challenge,\u00a030 Day Breakaway.<\/p>\n
Created by Super Trainer and track-and-field athlete\u00a0Idalis Velazquez<\/a>, this program combines resistance training with running to help you not only conquer a 5K with confidence but also build a leaner, stronger, faster body.<\/p>\n Ready to see how fast and how far you can go?<\/p>\n We sat down with Velazquez to find out what inspired this 30 Day Breakaway and why everyone \u2014 from beginners to longtime runners \u2014 can benefit from this running challenge.<\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to create a program that would help people break away from any fitness and mental plateaus, any physically self-limiting beliefs, and even their own living room \u2014 and help them reconnect with nature and all the amazing benefits of running.<\/p>\n 30 Day Breakaway helps empower people as they turn their \u2018I can\u2019t\u2019 into \u2018I can\u2019t believe I just did that!\u2019 and celebrate many uplifting non-scale victories.<\/p>\n I want people to establish the habit of getting outdoors and adding running to their lifestyle. Plus, a commitment of four weeks is attainable and not intimidating, setting people up for success.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe program is designed to be accessible for beginners, yet challenges even the most experienced runners. 30 Day Breakaway offers different calendars depending on your level of fitness, running experience, and the time you have.<\/p>\n Everyone will improve their running capacity, technique, and overall strength and conditioning. New runners will be able to\u00a0run their first 5k,\u00a0while experienced runners will improve upon their personal best records and their running pace and speed in longer races.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes! Most people in our test groups hadn\u2019t run in years \u2014 or even decades. For them, the first few workouts were very emotional, because they thought they would fail.<\/p>\n They were surprised by everything they were able to accomplish each day and how much their strength and stamina increased each week.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ll do 20 to 25 minutes of strength training, and then either head out for a run with your headphones or hop on a treadmill as you follow along with a video.<\/p>\n Most days you will alternate running short intervals at a recommended intensity with walking or slower running during the rest periods. Whether you use the audio or video option, I\u2019ll be motivating you every minute!<\/p>\n In addition to cuing the intervals, I\u2019ll share how to run more efficiently and with proper running posture and form.<\/p>\n If you choose the video format, you also get to see me and my running technique as I coach you to change the treadmill speed, incline, and more.\u201d<\/p>\nWhat was the inspiration for 30 Day Breakaway?<\/h2>\n
