Run for Your Life

A local pro runner uses her pen to keep you motivated

Posted

It’s only February, which means – be honest – you’ve probably already slacked off on your New Year’s resolution to get fit and exercise more. You’re not alone. It can be hard to stay motivated, focused and even organized when it comes to your fitness goals. Providence resident and elite pro runner Roisin “Ro” McGettigan-Dumas understands your struggle. That’s why she, along with co-author and fellow pro runner Lauren “Lo” Fleshman, created the Believe Training Journal, a combination training log, goal setting journal and how-to manual designed to keep runners confident and inspired all year long. It’s a revamp of their previous Believe I Am Training Journal, which they created when they couldn’t find a similar workout log that hooked them enough to keep using it.

The new journal is brimming over with Ro and Lo’s personalized touches: everything from their expert advice and hard-won pro circuit wisdom right down to hand-drawn illustrations and hand-written notes. The real beauty, however, is in its function – helping runners to log run distances and times, set race goals and keep themselves honest when it’s tempting to quit. There is a lot of running between now and our next New Year’s Eve. The Believe Training Journal will help you to both keep going and prove that you did.
