The Fit Collective

So many of you have been asking for more info/a review on the training program I used for this past Marathon. And here I am FINALLY delivering it to you... I’m so sorry it’s taken forever.. you know how it goes.. life gets busy, mommin always takes the front seat, and things get push back later & later. 

Now that my marathon training is over, I can finally let y’all in on the secrets! Hehe

So I only used the Fit Collective for the last 6-8 weeks for my training cycle only because I found them (they found me..) that late into the cycle. Had I started their program from Day 1, I truly believe my outcome would have been different. (Which is why I’m SO PUMPED to use the full 22 week program for my next 26.2. I will start end of July/beginning of August for the Dallas Marathon in December if anyone wants to follow the program with me!) 

I have a lot of friends/running community friends that use other programs or pay for online coaching or another avenue to guide their training, but for me, I needed something on the lighter side (not that a marathon is light by any means, but I couldn’t run 6 days a week), I wanted something built by professionals in both the medical & running community (because I need to know I am safely training & my best friend is a Physical Therapist and I know she would be so mad if I trained ignorantly), and lastly, I NEEDED something that fits my crazy schedule being a stay at home mom. 

Then along came the Fit Collective. The Marathon Schedule consists of 3 running days, 3 cross training days, and 1 rest day. PERFECTION! Running 3 days a week is exactly what I need. That is my max. My body can’t handle much more of than and neither can my schedule (and I didn’t want to make Caden sit in the stroller every single day: he doesn’t deserve that). The cross training days I was able to do at home with my light dumbbells (or at a gym if you don’t have any). The cross training exercises are demonstrated via instructional video on your Fit Collective member portal to ensure proper form & technique. LOVE! 

Instructional Video of Exercises

The marathon program consists of aerobic base training, recovery workouts, speed work, threshold intervals, tempo runs, hill repeats, and more! Don’t know what all that means? It’s all good. Everything is explained in detail on your member portal. 

The training programs are as followed: Couch to 5k (10 week program), 10k (12 week program), half marathon (16 week program), & full marathon (22 week program). I can only speak for the marathon program because I haven't used the other ones, but if they are anything like the full marathon program they are legit. 2 legit 2 quit.

Along with unlimited access to your training programs, you get new, yummy recipes every week to try out. I’ve gotten some delicious go-to’s from here. Here are a few examples... 

Café Mocha Protein Smoothie

Spicy Shrimp Avocado Salad

An online membership gives you full access to every endurance program, all the cross training workouts, recipes, weekly goals, and support from the Fit Collective Community & Coaches.
Online memberships are $20/month but I have a discount for you lovely people! Use TORI50 at checkout for 50% off!!! So $10/month.

Literally the easiest decision I made for sure. Not only did I feel confident going into race day, I didn't have to constantly think of new recipes for the family (yall know that gets exhausting), and I felt safe and knowledgeable doing the cross training exercises since I could watch the video to double check I was doing it correctly. 

You can also do a 7 day free trial to test it out first before making the commitment. You’ll love it though I promise! Join me & the Fit Collective Community!
