Hey there , this is Coach Brooke . I

0:06

am so excited to coach you on this 30

0:08

minute run today . You have the choice to decide

0:11

how you want this run to go . I encourage

0:13

you to lean into the present moment . You

0:15

carved out time in your day to

0:18

make this run happen . You may be

0:20

squeezing this in between obligations or

0:22

meetings Good job , way

0:24

to show up and way to get through that front

0:26

door . I am here

0:28

to guide you through several

0:31

different prompts . What we're going to do today

0:33

is look at movement and how

0:35

it benefits us . Speaking

0:38

of movement , I'm going to give you some time here

0:40

to warm up your muscles and your joints

0:42

. It takes a while for our bodies to

0:44

warm up into the act of running . You

0:46

most likely were not running before this run , so

0:49

let's take some time to warm up into it . I'm

0:51

going to give you 90 seconds to do that . I

0:53

will be back . See you soon . When

2:33

was the first time that you fell in love

2:35

with movement ? For

2:37

me , I was in elementary school

2:39

and it was summer vacation

2:42

and I wanted to run

2:44

all the time . I remember sobbing

2:47

at the sliding glass window to our backyard

2:49

because no one would play with me . I

2:52

was exhausted from playing with me throughout

2:54

the whole entire day . They took turns to

2:56

occupy me and entertain me doing

2:58

any sporting activity outside

3:00

in the backyard . Then I got really sad because

3:02

they all got tired and I had more energy to keep

3:04

going . So what did my parents do ? They

3:07

put me into the Rocky Mountain

3:09

Speed Camp . I went to this camp

3:11

and I learned the mechanics of running

3:13

at a very young age . I learned how important

3:16

our arm swing is to propel us

3:18

forward and our knee drive , and

3:20

also where to look while running

3:22

. I had so much fun

3:24

in the Rocky Mountain Speed Camp . I raced

3:26

as many people as I could . I didn't care how

3:28

old they were and I didn't care if they were boys

3:31

or girls . I raced everyone , and I also

3:33

found myself gravitating towards the stairs

3:35

. I remember this distinctly Once I

3:37

learned that my body could move me

3:40

upstairs in a joyful way . I

3:42

sprinted stair after stair after

3:44

stair throughout elementary , middle school

3:47

, high school and college . It

3:49

became a coping mechanism for me , but

3:51

not only that . It became a way for me to feel

3:53

alive . The way my heart would burst

3:55

inside my chest and send all my

3:58

oxygen throughout my body , how I would

4:00

be out of breath at the top of every staircase

4:02

that I ran . I would feel so

4:04

strong and empowered . I fell

4:06

in love with movement at the Rocky Mountain

4:08

Speed Camp . Where did you fall in love with

4:11

movement ? I

4:40

fell in love with movement

4:43

at the Rocky

4:46

Mountain Speed

4:49

Camp . I

5:11

fell in love

5:19

with

5:38

movement at the Rocky Mountain Speed Camp . I

5:40

fell in love with

5:42

movement at

5:45

the Rocky Mountain

5:47

Speed Camp

5:50

. Outside

6:31

of running , what are some other activities

6:33

that you really enjoy ? Think about this through

6:35

the lens of movement . We

7:08

get to experience so much

7:10

in this world because of movement . I

7:12

think about mountain biking . Last year , I

7:14

spent 2 and a half months mountain biking by myself

7:16

. I had to learn how to ride my mountain

7:19

bike with confidence that if I

7:21

fell I would be okay , and if

7:23

I fell and I wasn't okay , I had to have confidence

7:25

that I would find the help that I needed To

7:27

be able to do this . I learned how to trust my

7:29

body in a new way . I trusted

7:32

the connection between my brain and my

7:34

body . I also learned how to dial

7:36

into my heart and what it was telling

7:38

me as I took on movement on

7:40

a bicycle . I've

7:42

been biking my whole life , but this experience

7:45

was very different . It was the first time that I

7:47

was solely responsible for my activity

7:49

on the bike , so I had to really

7:51

lean into trusting movement and respecting

7:54

movement . I had to know what

7:56

it felt like for my body to overextend

7:58

and put me into harm's way . For example

8:00

, going downhill with your weight forward

8:02

over your handlebars creates the perfect

8:04

scenario to crash , so I had to learn

8:07

how to balance out my movement . What

8:09

about you ? What

8:32

other movements do you enjoy

8:34

outside of running ? I

9:44

know this because my relationship

9:46

with running has become essential

9:49

to my mental health . I had a really

9:51

rough seven years in my thirties

9:53

. I had lost

9:55

community . I wasn't getting the jobs

9:58

that I thought I was fit for and

10:00

I saw my peers excelling

10:02

way faster than I did , and

10:05

I felt really sad and disappointed

10:07

. I did not have the life that I wanted

10:09

, nor did I have the financial stability

10:11

to invest in the ways that I wanted to invest

10:13

. I felt so stretched and

10:16

depressed . For seven years I

10:18

learned that I could run while I was grieving

10:20

and while I was depressed . I

10:23

also learned that some days , gating

10:26

out the door to run for five minutes

10:28

was the healthiest thing that I could do for

10:30

myself . How has movement

10:32

been therapeutic for you in your

10:34

life . You've

12:01

been running for over 10 minutes now . As

12:05

you run for a little bit here , focus on how

12:07

you feel physically . Do a head-to-toe

12:09

scan right now and check in on

12:11

your physical body . Are

12:14

there any places of discomfort right

12:16

now ? If yes , what

12:19

do you need to do right now to

12:21

make that part of your body feel better ? How

12:45

do you feel emotionally right now ? Check

12:48

in with what's going on inside your head and your

12:50

heart . Make a few strides on

12:52

your own to connect with what you

12:54

are feeling emotionally . Movement

13:20

can help us move out of unhelpful

13:23

places , physically and emotionally . It

13:26

is a tool in our tool belt that we can access

13:28

when we need help . Sometimes

13:30

movement alone can do the trick , but

13:32

other times we need movement and something

13:35

else . This helps you move

13:37

forward in your life . Sometimes

14:48

movement does not get easier . Isn't

14:51

that the pits like ? We dedicate ourselves

14:53

to run so that we can feel better

14:55

during the run , but sometimes

14:58

it just doesn't get easier to move

15:00

. What

15:02

do we do when movement does

15:04

not get easier ? We can give

15:07

up . That's an option . We

15:10

can try to work harder . That's also

15:12

an option . We

15:14

can accept that we

15:16

did our best and our efforts

15:18

did not result in the

15:20

outcomes that we wanted . That's an option

15:23

. What do you think is the best thing

15:25

to do when you feel like movement

15:27

does not get easier ? This

15:29

round , you

15:35

can

15:38

pick anything

15:44

that you'd rather replace . We

16:42

can get inspiration for our own lives by

16:44

looking at the lives of other people . Who

16:46

inspires you to move ? What

16:49

is it about them that does that for

16:51

you Get

17:17

inspiration ? This

18:00

one is a fun one . I wish I could be right there

18:02

with you in stride talking

18:05

about this . An animal

18:07

has the best movement , and why An

18:38

animal has the best

18:41

movement

18:46

, and why An

18:56

animal has the best movement and why . What

19:19

color represents movement for you

19:21

? And maybe I

19:23

should rephrase that what colors

19:26

represent movement for you ? An

19:50

animal has the best

19:55

movement and why An animal has the best

19:58

movement

20:03

, and why An

20:34

animal has the best movement , and why An

20:48

animal

20:54

has the best movement

21:02

and why . What

21:04

TV or movie character has the

21:06

most memorable movement ? What

22:31

geographical location do you

22:33

move the best in ? You

23:04

are moving us closer to the finish line

23:06

right now , and you have done

23:08

all the work to get us here

23:10

. We have talked about movement

23:12

and you've put in so many micro movements

23:15

to get you here . Let's

23:19

take some time to appreciate our

23:21

bodies and the hundreds and thousands

23:23

of tiny movements that they take to

23:26

propel you forward . And

24:55

now take a moment to thank yourself

24:58

. You chose movement

25:00

today and that is worth

25:02

celebrating . In

27:10

just a little bit , I'm going to count you down

27:12

and out of this run Once

27:17

you cross this finish line . I encourage

27:19

you to keep on moving , move

27:23

yourself towards action

27:25

of healing and recovery

27:27

and rest , and

27:30

also move yourself towards inspiration

27:32

. What can you do to inspire yourself

27:35

today so that you can run again

27:37

tomorrow or the next day ? Thank

27:43

29:05

have undoubtedly inspired more

29:08

people to move today . I know this

29:10

because you have inspired me to

29:12

move again . It

29:41

has been an absolute pleasure to move with

29:43

you today . Thank
