The Energetic Way to 5K
Walk, Run, or Walk/Run

Come for the 5k, stay for the transformation.

This isn’t just about crossing a finish line—it’s about reconnecting with your body, building resilience, and proving to yourself that you can push through challenges.

Training for a 5K isn’t just about walking or running; it’s about showing up for yourself, step by step, breath by breath.

You’ll gain more than endurance—you’ll gain confidence, strength, and a deep trust in what your body is capable of. If you’re ready to move beyond limitations and into possibility, this journey is for you. Let’s go!

I can run for 30 minutes - I feel great, lost a few pounds, and I have loved running in the reservation in the mornings - it has been amazing for my emotional/mental health during the pandemic... I LOVE the accountability and the amazing community and new friends I have made.

 

Running has been a journey for me. Never been a runner, but took it on as a personal challenge with a huge help from my coach and trainer Helen Birney (shout out - she is phenomenal!)

 

I just did the week three run/walk and I was so worried because I have not run 3 mins straight in over 10 years! I did it and it was all good. I actually said out loud to myself after the first 3 mins, “holy sh*t I did it!” I just want to thank you for all the positive energy and giving me the tools to take care of myself. You are such a gift! 

Community and accountability is key.

So is doing what we want.

 

We train together using my week-by-week walking and running approach in SOMA, NJ.  We are always here cheering each other on, as well as inviting each other to do what works for us that day. You'll see members pairing off to complete walking, or different interval sets, as the program progresses. When the program is over, you are one of us and we have options to continue walking, running, or walk/running with the group.

The Energetic Way to 5k is an approach to a 5k that honors your unique journey.

I'm IN!
  • Learn your unique mental and physical roadblocks, and come up with your training plan through an initial coaching session with Helen

  • Ultimate accountability--Virtual posts in the private chat and local meet-ups

    • Participants local to South Orange/ Maplewood  meet  Saturdays at 8 am EST, in South Orange/ Maplewood (location provided via chat); we also post for buddies in our messenger chat on Mondays and Wednesdays

Why is the initial investment more than the monthly?

Newcomers receive a coaching call and personal attention from Helen during our walk/runs so I can answer questions about form, stretching or modifying. After the 12-weeks, you will have the knowledge and confidence you need to just show up.
