✔ Built for true beginners
✔ Step-by-step daily plan
✔ Expert coaching + injury-prevention baked in

Boost your fitness, stamina, and overall health by breaking into the running world and accomplishing your first half marathon in 2026 with a group of runners from around the globe. 🌎

We start January 1! Save your spot before midnight on December 31.

What You're Committing To (And What You're Not)

You are not committing to:

• Running every day
• Crushing workouts
• “Pushing through pain”

You are committing to:

• Short, doable workouts
• A proven walk-run progression
• A clear plan that removes guesswork

And most importantly, you are committed to being mostly consistent in your training.

Not perfect - just mostly consistent. 

There is flexibility in our programs for when “life” happens, and we don’t expect perfection in sticking with the plan.

Rather, we hold being mostly consistent as the gold standard for seeing progress in your running and fitness.

Prioritize this - and you will do great!

Who Built This Challenge?

I’m Casey, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and run coach.

I have a passion for helping new runners get started, stay injury-free, and learn what they are truly capable of accomplishing in their bodies.

I built this challenge after years of:

• Personally struggling with running injuries
  
• Studying the science of endurance training
  
• Coaching thousands of beginner runners
  

This is the exact approach I use to help people start running without getting injured or quitting.

Where Most Running Plans Go Wrong

Most running plans fail beginners for a few simple reasons:

• They start with too much (ex: “Day 1: Run 3 miles”)
• They progress by distance too quickly (3 miles → 5 miles)
• There’s no injury-prevention plan
• There’s no accountability or support

Why the R4U approach works

Designed by a physical therapist, this is a beginner-first system to take someone from none to 13.1 miles safely and confidently.

• You start at a true beginner level (Run 1 minute, walk 9 minutes)
• You progress by duration before distance so there’s no pressure to hit mileage before you’re ready
• Strength training, recovery weeks, and community support are built in to keep you healthy and consistent

This allows you to see early wins, build confidence quickly, stay healthy, and actually enjoy running.

And before you know it, you’ll be toeing the line to crush your first half marathon!
