This 45-minute guided running workout is your post-holiday reset and your bridge into the New Year.

Designed for treadmill or outdoor running, this session focuses on building momentum—not burnout—with progressive pacing, controlled surges, and mindset-driven coaching. You’ll be guided minute by minute using effort-based cues, with both mile and kilometer pacing suggestions to meet you wherever you’re running.

Along the way, we’ll cover:

• How to rebuild consistency after the holidays

• Why sustainable effort beats all-out intensity

• Simple cadence and form cues to run more efficiently

• How to set yourself up for a strong, balanced New Year of running

This run is about showing up, finding rhythm again, and remembering that you don’t start January from zero—you start with experience.

Perfect for runners easing back in, building confidence, or setting the tone for a healthier, happier year ahead.

This guided run uses RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion), heart-rate zones, and pace cues in both miles and kilometers, making it accessible whether you’re running indoors, outdoors, or tuning in from anywhere in the world.

Throughout the workout, Coach Alicia introduces the 4 F’s framework — Fun, Fitness, Financial, and Family — and shares how these pillars are shaping her 2026 goals and the vision behind The Endurance Balance podcast.

• Tempo and moderate-hard efforts guided by feel

• Creative pace changes to keep the run engaging
