Running + Strength Workshop For Women 30+.
Your body is seen. You’re already strong, you just want to see what else you’re made of.
Working out should be challenging, but it shouldn’t feel awful, like you’re fighting a fight you don’t even know how to fight because the rules weren’t written with you in mind.
Your body wasn’t taken into consideration period.
Not your menstrual cycle.
Not your hormonal changes.
Not your energy flow.
In fact, your moods and energies were dismissed or seen as excuses.
Likely you questioned your own discipline, efforts, resolve, “lack of” will power because none of this fits in with workouts conceived and designed for male bodies that perform differently.
We are changing the narrative, the circumstances, and the design.
We are making the space for women to train according to their menstrual flow or hormonal season.
The narrative: Women are experts in what womens’ bodies experience and are the best resource partners to design training programs for women.
The circumstances: A morning just for women who want to be fit, healthy, and strong. And a space to talk about our bodies after.
The design: Workouts grouped by your menstrual phase or hormonal season, to work with where you are, not where you are invisible.
Join us on April 11 in Central Park for a workout session. Part running and part strength.
The Run - An adaptable 5k. You will choose your group either by menstrual phase or hormonal season. Within those groups, your workout can be adapted by time or distance to work for you.
The Strength - Using yoga and your body weight, your strength session will focus on engaging muscles for strength, resistance and gentle impact for bone density, and core work for balance/mobility.
The Girl Talk - The space opens up to talk about our changing bodies, share what we are creating with you, and raffle off some sponsored merch.
You get a month’s access to Sync N cycle-syncing fitness app for more workouts based on your menstrual cycle.
Proudly supported by women-founded companies Sundry Bars and Local Runner.
This morning was imagined and built for you. Register here, see you there.

Death And Yoga, Founder
Yoga teacher. Endurance athlete. Triathlon coach.
Teaching yoga came to me when an instructor taught in a way that showed me it could be a lens, not a dogma. I teach yoga in service of the student, not the other way around.
My first triathlon was 20 years ago starting me off in the world of endurance. A few weeks ago, I ran the Tokyo Marathon and broke sub-four hours, a PR more than 15 years in the making. My training program was adapted to work with my period and that adjustment was crucial in me hitting my marathon goal.
