Episode Synopsis

What happens when your run coach becomes your Bravo-watching, voice-note-sending, go-to girl for both life and training?In this episode, I’m joined by my former run coach turned real-life bestie, Toni Kengor (https://linktr.ee/Tonikengor) — co-founder of Relentless Runners and the woman who trained me through two marathons, carried me through off-seasons (mentally and physically), and still cheers me on even though I’ve fully pivoted to HYROX.We talk about:– How we approach training for big race goals (both from a runner and programming perspective)– How we both navigate mindset blocks, burnout, and going after PRs– The moment our coach-client relationship turned into a full-blown friendship– And of course... our Bravo + Love Island takes, and our shared obsession with Giggly SquadThis one’s for the girlies who love training hard, laughing harder, and voice-noting their best friend!⬇️ CONNECT WITH KARINA:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ripps_ontherun/⁠Work With Karina: ⁠https://msha.ke/rippsontherun⁠Join the Free Run Coach Insiders List: ⁠https://www.karinaripps.com/run-coach-insiders-list⁠
