Run Smarter, Not Harder: Posture Tips for Injury-Free Running

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Run

With running season in full swing, I want to share my video on running posture to help you achieve your best performance.

Running can be simple and enjoyable when you harness your body’s natural spring and the force of gravity. Instead of fighting the run, think about literally falling forward, using your hamstrings to lift your heels up behind you. It’s about efficiency, not effort.

Key Posture Tips for Running Success:

Good posture is essential from toes to nose, both in life and while running. Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • Stand tall but stay relaxed: Focus on keeping your body aligned without tension.
  • Ears over shoulders.
  • Shoulders over hips.
  • Hips over knees.
  • Soft knees over feet.

Now, here’s where the magic happens:

  • Fall forward from your ankles: Let gravity do the work for you.
  • Arms bent at 90 degrees: Swing them front to back like pendulums, without crossing the midline.
  • Pull heels up: With a relaxed ankle, lift each heel up behind you, one at a time.
  • And repeat—that’s running!

Aim for 45 steps in 15 seconds for optimal cadence and foot strike. Check out this quick video to see it in action:

Ready to Take Your Running to the Next Level?

Are you training for the Miami Marathon or any other upcoming race? Maybe you’re looking to become a faster runner or recover from an injury? If any of these sound familiar, I have exciting news!

Run Essentials is officially open for enrollment, and I’d love to invite you to join!

Is This Program Right for You?

Let me ask you a few questions:

  • Have you signed up for a race but feel confused about how to train?
  • Have you tried running before, only to end up injured after just a few days?
  • Are you aiming to run faster, improve your technique, and feel better with each run?
  • Do you find yourself relying on random tips from social media that just aren’t working?
  • Are you overwhelmed by how to train, unsure how far to run or at what pace?

If you nodded yes to any of these, you’re not alone. Running can be confusing without proper guidance, and without the right structure, you risk not reaching the finish line, getting stuck in frustration, or worse—suffering a chronic injury that sidelines you.

Don’t Let Confusion or Injury Hold You Back

This is your chance to join a supportive community that will inspire and guide you to achieve your goals. Picture yourself crossing the finish line—feeling stronger, more confident, and setting an amazing example for yourself and others.

Run Essentials offers the tools, structure, and support you need to run your best. Whether you’re just starting or want to elevate your performance, this program will help you get there.

Enroll today and take the next step toward achieving your running goals!

Even Coaches Can Benefit from UTC! – Heather’s Rockstar Story

by fullcircle, posted in ROCKSTARS, Run, Swim, Ultimate Tri Camp

Rockstar Triathlete: Heather Shrouds

Coaches Notes: Heather reached out in January, excited to be able to get such a great discount on Ultimate Tri Camp as a USAT certified USAT Coach, earn her CEUs, AND learn the “behind the scenes ” about how I coach my athletes and the Full Circle Coaching Methodology. 

I love being able to support USA Triathlon coaches in the application of their knowledge.

There are many different coaching styles, but with my 27 years of experience coaching thousands of triathletes and hosting over 20 triathlon camps, I believe that including training in more than just swimming, biking, and running is imperative to keeping a triathlete doing the sport they love for a lifetime. 

At Camp, Heather saw firsthand how to coach the campers on the importance of technique in the swim, bike and running can prevent injuries from overusing the repetitive motion of a triathlon with the use of video analysis and metabolic field testing. Learning breath work, Kihara stretching, Eldoa spine strength, foot strength, and so much more can impact her triathlon performance and help her coach the athletes she is coaching. 

Thanks, Heather, for coming in with an open mind and participating fully at Ultimate Tri Camp. You have so many new tools to implement into your coaching practice! You are a true Rockstar Coach/ and Camper!

Age: 48

Profession: Personal Trainer and Triathlon Coach

Why did you choose Ultimate Tri Camp for help in your triathlon journey?
I was at this triathlon camp to earn my CECs for my USAT Certification and improve my form in my swim and run. I knew something was off, but I was still determining what to expect. This was my first triathlon camp ever!

Please share your BIG goals and how Ultimate Tri Camp supported you:
My big goals are to swim 750m under 15 minutes, bike 20+mph, and run a 20-minute 5k
I started my weight loss journey in the fall of 2009. I have lost 100 lbs so far. I fell in love with Triathlon after my first swim, even though I was terrified of the open water. Triathlon and Duathlon Worlds and I have qualified for and competed in Age Group Nationals.

Tell me about your successes so far:

Swim – being more efficient and converting to breathing every 2 strokes instead of 3
Bike – getting my love back for riding outside.  I had been riding on the trainer a lot because of life schedule.   Riding in Clermont during Ultimate Tri Camp was beautiful, and riding in traffic was challenging, but I overcame my fear with the group’s safety.
Run – seeing my form on video during the video analysis and the corrections we made.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance at Ultimate Tri Camp?
I learned even more about my gut health. I love the ELDOA, meditation, and yoga. Honestly, it all was excellent.
1) Getting my love back for riding outside
2) Recovery strategies 
3) The Magnesium cream and Perfect Aminos are a game changer

What was your favorite part of Ultimate Tri Camp?
The camaraderie and the edge of competing with everyone—all of it, honestly. If I had to pick the ELDOAs, I have never done them before, but they’re a game changer for sure.

Are you coming back next year?
Yes, I plan on it!

So you had a terrible race, now what?

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset, Race Specific

So Your Race Sucked…Now What?

This situation can be even more painful for a half or full marathon/ Ironman due to the amount of time and money invested to even just get to the starting line.

When the results turn out terrible, it’s time to take a real hard look at your training log over the previous 5-6 months leading up to the race. Now sometimes there are situations that are out of your control, like tacks on the road, bad weather etc. But you can usually prevent most of your races from going south.

You need to look and be honest with yourself. Did you really put in the volume and intensity that your training program called for?

Did you do those hard intervals that your coach had in your Training Peaks?

Did you hit the minimums for long course racing that include 3 swims, 3 bikes, 4 runs and 2 strength sessions per week?

Did you train on similar terrain and conditions to your race?  Long course racing is no joke, and it’s hard for me to see my own athletes struggle on course as I watch my IM Tracker.

Did you Dial in your nutrition for success on the day no matter what the conditions are?

My goal as a coach is to actually make  training  a little bit  harder than the race will be so that you can handle all the race day stress and logistics; saying to yourself, “So that’s why she made me do all those bridge repeats, etc.”

It takes a lot of mental and physical fortitude to toe the line at a triathlon (long course and short course)  believe it or not.

You hear people talk about it like its no big deal. But, not everyone comes out of the womb swimming, biking and running!

If you have not been challenged and had to work hard to overcome set backs in your training, success on race day is unlikely.

It’s really all about the journey and race day is the test. Did you do your homework? Most of the time all the reasons why your race sucked are right there in the training log, where you skipped that swim, bike, or run. Decided to take 10 days off instead of two, eat pizza and drink beer.

If you made the commitment to sign up for the marathon or triathlon race, you might as well do everything you can to get it right! Listen to your coach, follow your individual training plan designed to help you progress safely and confidently to the distance of your race. It takes time, not just a few weeks!

So now, I know you are super motivated to get it right next time!

Recover well, write out the whole painful experience, so you can look back before your next race and remember not to let that happen again!!!!

If you are looking for help avoiding another terrible race result, Let’s Talk about how I can design a plan specific to you to dial in your best performance on the day!

Use setbacks to strengthen your commitment

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Use setbacks to strengthen your commitment

Life is hard sometimes.

You have so many responsibilities and so little time. Even when you stick to a schedule, circumstances can disrupt your plans and leave you scrambling. It’s enough to make you want to give up when everything seems to be working against you.

But don’t – please!

It happens to everyone. After all, there’s only so much we can control – and a whole universe of people, places and things that are simply beyond us. When you learn to EXPECT disruption, and to simply accept it as a fact of life, then you can begin to be free of it, and keep moving forward.

Here’s a super-basic example. If you leave 20 minutes ahead of time for any appointment. That would allow for traffic or another unexpected delay. If you arrived on time, you’d have a few minutes to kill; if the journey took longer than expected, you would still be on time.

I think about this little lesson all the time. It’s even easy to apply it to healthy goals.

For example, if you want to lose weight, then it’s not enough to start eating right. You also have to anticipate days when you won’t be able to, for whatever reason. Maybe you’re stuck in a work conference, or traveling, or just can’t resist your neighbor’s fried chicken today.

If you want to train for a triathlon then you have to accept that you’ll need rest days/ weeks, or adjustments to your training schedule. There might be bad weather. That you might have a family emergency that keeps you from completing your training.

Here’s my wish for you. When these circumstances happen – and they will – don’t abandon your goals.

Instead, remember that success takes consistent effort over time. And use each setback to strengthen the commitment you made to yourself.

It’s all in how you look at it!

5 Ways to Get Unstuck!

5 Ways to Get Unstuck!

Ever feel like you’re giving your best effort and just not getting the results you want in any area of life?

Or maybe you feel like you just don’t have the motivation and drive right now to transform your body and your life.

If you’re feeling stuck, I’m here to help.

So, here are my top 5 ways you can get un-stuck:

  1. Focus on the next right move. If you focus on the big picture, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. But by simply directing yourself to make the RIGHT decision (the one that brings you closer to your goal) in each moment will add up to big results that keep you motivated.
  2. Devise a reward strategy. If you make the changes you desire and reach your goals, how will you reward yourself (not with food!)? It could be something as big as a vacation or as small as a massage.
  3. Be real about the consequences of not changing. What are the bad things that will happen if you don’t achieve your goal? Let that sink in and drive you.
  4. Make “DO IT ANYWAY” your motto. When you’re ready to talk yourself out of exercising or cooking dinner, LIVE this motto. So often we get lost rationalizing poor choices in our heads. We have to do this to make accepting less than our best easier. Be aware of it and choose differently.
  5. Increase your accountability. A good way of doing this is to ask a friend to join you. A GREAT way to do this is to hire a coach who believes in you but NOT your excuses.

So, which of these resonates most with you? Any you haven’t attempted before?

And don’t forget – if you need help getting un-stuck, we’ve got your back here at FULL CIRCLE COACHING. Just let me know you’re ready text me at the number below. I’ll reach out to you and start the conversation right away.

Yours in Health,

Coach Erinne Guthrie

Do you “Monday” Your Goals?

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Do you “Monday” Your Goals?

In the history of procrastination, there’s no better time than Monday.

  • “I promise, Coach, I’ll see you starting on Monday.”
  • “My diet starts Monday – after one last weekend of fun.”

Sound familiar?

Maybe this explains why more people hit the gym or the running trails on Monday, after a weekend of lying around and overindulging.

But whether you use the Monday excuse or tell some other lie to yourself, it’s all the same. When you procrastinate working on your goals, it means you’re not really ready to do the work.

Because when you are? You go into immediate action.

Monday’s a liar.

Trust yourself. Begin your work. No matter what day it is.

It just so happens to be Monday! So today is the day to take action!

Set up a call with me to see how I can help you with your triathlon and health and wellness goals!

From Grill Master to Triathlon Champion: 109 Burger Joint Owner Hooked After Jumping In The Pool

COACH’S NOTES:

As a complete new comer to triathlon, Jose had the desire and followed the Full Circle Coaching Couch2-Tri Program to the letter to achieve amazing results.

He barely missed a single training session in the 8 week beginner program and implemented all the training suggestions to cross the finish line strong after some tough windy wavy conditions in the Key West Triathlon.

I am so proud to welcome him to the Triathlon Tribe and love his enthusiasm to tackle some serious new triathlon goals!

Way to go Jose!  Thanks for being an inspiration to those people that may be a little unsure in taking on the goal of a triathlon and showing how well this program works.

*109 Burger Joint, considered one of the best burger spots in Miami since opening in 2015!
Located in Sweetwater on 109th Ave and SW 7th Street, across from FIU.

ABOUT THE ATHLETE

Age:

24 years young

Profession:

Chef/Restaurant Owner/Full-time student

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?

After doing research, I saw that FC had a great staff and workout plans for its athletes. I did a skype call with Erinne  and loved her energy and passion. She invited me to a free one week trial and I was hooked!

What is your “A” race for this season?

Escape to Miami in September will be my first international distance race! But I just completed my first triathlon ever after graduating from Full Circle Coaching Couch to Tri Program

Please share your BIG goals:

Like every triathlete my BIG goal is to finish an Ironman one day. Also, to become better faster and stronger with every race I participate in!

Tell me about your successes so far:

I completed the Coach-to-Tri program with Full Circle and was able to run my first triathlon! I completed the sprint at Tri-Key West. It was a tough race with some unexpected challenges but it was amazing! Loved every part of it. My training prepared me well enough to feel confident in my abilities. Cannot wait for all the races to come!

What were some of your biggest improvements in performance in Swim, Bike, Run, and Nutrition/Health?

  • Swim: when I started with FC I couldn’t swim across the pool. After the program I not only learned to swim correctly but I was able to conquer a very tough, rough windy swim at TriKW.
  • Bike: My speed and efficiency on the bike was miles better after the training.
  • Run: When I started with FC I couldn’t run a mile. Now I can run an 8-min mile and was able to complete a 5k!

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:

  1. Having a very supportive coaching staff that knows exactly what I need to become better and to reach my goals. They are great mentors that will always push me to get to the next level.
  2. Having a great team around me that can always be counted on. Whether good or bad I know the FC tribe will be there to help.
  3. Building the self-confidence to believe in myself. Setting achievable goals that will help me grow and become better, not only in triathlon but life in general.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?

I love being part of something that is so much fun and also just betters life. Since I started training for triathlon I have been feeling better in all aspects of my life. It is also exciting taking part in one of greatest physical challenges that we can partake as humans. The sense of achievement from completing a triathlon  is like no other!

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?

Jump off the fence and into the pool! The hardest part about this whole process was starting. Once you’re in it you will get hooked!

Rockstar Triathlete Michael Caputa Takes 1st Place

Coach’s Notes:
Michael was already a strong triathlete but not using testing and training zones to train and race. Switching from hoping for the best outcome on race day to knowing within a few minutes what he is capable dialed in his race performance and we got it right first time around- 1st place baby! So proud of you Michael, so dedicated to train and get it in between family time and work- You are truly a rockstar triathlete- Let’s see what next year can bring!

Age: 44

Profession: Sales with Schindler Elevator Corporation Maintenance and Repair

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?
I met Erinne at my 1st pre-race clinic for the May 2017 Mack Cycle Tri-Miami. I gained some valuable tips from her and knew she was passionate and knowledgeable about the sport.

Last year, my dear friend, Hunter Tully,  joined FCC and I was able to see him grow in the sport and hear all about the FCC approach. Earlier this year Hunter approached me about joining a team that he was putting together to race in the RAAM (Ride Across America) in June 2020. Erinne is also a part of that team. At one of our RAAM team meetings I was able to share with her my goals and what I had been doing with a part time coach. She was confident that she could help and I gave it a shot. In 3 months she helped me reach my 1st goal. I’m so glad that I made the decision to be a part of her team!

What is your “A” race for this season?
Key West Olympic 

Please share your BIG goals:
50 mile Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim run in the Grand Canyon, Gulf Coast 70.3 PR and Podium, RAAM in 8 days (3,000+ miles 125,000 gain), and complete full Ironman.

Tell me about your successes so far:
I started doing triathlons in 2017. I am a proud finisher of 3 Half Ironman distance races with a PR of 5:33. I have done multiple sprint, international/Olympic distances since 2017 and just finished 1st in my age group in Key West. 

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following? Swim: Bike: Run: Nutrition/Health: Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved: 
Swim – Erinne is correcting my form and in 3 months I’ve gotten almost 20 seconds faster per 100 yards;
Bike – proper bike fit and coaching has allowed me to sustain high power for much longer periods;
Run – structured workouts that have focused my training to run faster than ever.
Nutrition – work in progress! 

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:
1. Setting specific goals within the race (race plan).
2. Workouts designed to maximize potential and simulate race day efforts.
3. Having someone to call or text that is willing and able to answer my every question. Yes even the silly and “you should know better” ones!

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?
Having an outlet for my competitive nature and the triathlon community. The community is AWESOME!

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?
You don’t know what you don’t know. Erinne, Dennis, and Dany are experts and can get you to the next level easier and quicker than anyone could do it by themselves.

Time-saving strategies to prioritize yourself

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Time-saving strategies to prioritize yourself

Managing your time is all about expressing your priorities.

So, when you habitually say things like, “I don’t have time to: exercise, stretch, strength train, eat smart, etc.” then you’re essentially saying this:

My health and happiness are not priorities.

Please, stop saying that!

Here are a few simple time-management tools to prioritize yourself in your own life. Think about how you can apply them to use YOUR time effectively.

  • Just say no. Crazy concept, right? You don’t have to do everything someone asks. You don’t have to take on every responsibility. “No” is a complete sentence.
  • What do flight attendants always say? “Please secure your own oxygen mask before helping someone else.” That’s a good lesson on the ground too. If you can’t take care of yourself, you’re not going to be any good to another person.
  • Wake up 30 minutes early. Depending on your family and work schedules, this slight adjustment could start a chain reaction of time savings. Think of what you could do before anyone else wakes up and the daily rush starts.
  • Limit screen time. We used to say watch less TV, but now we should include Internet and video games, too. I’m not saying you shouldn’t enjoy them. But if you’re searching for time to exercise, you can start right here by cutting an hour a day three days a week.
  • Conduct walking meetings and lunches. If your desk-bound for calls and Zoom meetings, try to arrange just a couple a week while out for a walk. Similarly, if there’s an individual you need, then schedule a time to walk together or while on the phone. It’s fun, social, and gets good ideas flowing. (And, yes, it saves time!)
  • Seize the time you save on commuting. More people are working from home nowadays, and that means tons of time back in your column since you don’t have to commute every day. 

Which of these are you going to try? Do you have any time-saving best practices?

Rockstar Triathlete Shaves 20 Minutes Off Sprint Race Time

Rockstar Triathlete Shaves 20 Minutes Off Sprint Race Time

Coach’s Notes

When Steve recommitted to training with me, he was really ready to make some changes.

His commitment to really learning what was holding him back and then applying the tools I gave him has been amazing to watch.

Taking 20 minutes off his sprint race time by showing up to classes and Swim Essentials and 25 pounds lighter after a gut healing protocol and holistic nutrition program. He is now ready to start ramping it up for longer distance triathlon.

Super proud of you Steve.
We will continue to make improvements as long as you choose to!

Age: 55

Profession:
Culinary Instructor

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?
I heard from a friend that Erinne was one of the best coaches in Miami so I always go with the best.

What is your “A” race for this season?
70.3 Puerto Rico

Please share your BIG goals:
Training with FC has given me such confidence in the sport that I love even though I have just started doing them in the last few years.

Tell me about your successes so far:
I started training again with Erinne this February and I have stayed consistent. From my sprint race in May to the sprint race in August, I have taken 20 minutes off my time total time. In one month from the Trilogy in July to Trilogy 3 in August, I cut 6 minutes off my time!

I have also been doing Erinne’s nutrition coaching since mid July and have Lost 25 pounds.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following? Swim: Bike: Run: Nutrition/Health: Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved:

I have improved on every level of my training, taking minutes off each discipline, swim, bike and run and of course, pounds. I am still working on my nutrition and will be at my ideal weight soon as the pounds keep coming off.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:

  1. With nutrition, Erinne’s gut healing guidance has made a huge impact on how I feel so much better. Also, knowing what foods to eat for my metabolic type.
  2. Of course having such great coaching, teaching and correcting my form.
  3. The support of the entire FC tribe because it is a lot easier to get goals accomplished as a team than as an individual.

What excites you the most about involved in triathlon?
Every triathlon gets me excited to see what I can do mentally and physically and puts me in a better place to improve myself and motivate the people that I work with.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?

Just do it. Stop making excuses. Having a great coach and awesome teammates has elevated my skills to achieve things I thought I never could do.
