In 1999, Dimity grabbed her dad's copy of The Artist's Way as she and her sisters were cleaning out his house after his death. The autumn tones on the book's cover didn't speak to her, but its subtitle did: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity. For over twenty years, the book traveled to six different houses before Dimity finally cracked the cover in 2023 in a group program. The heart of The Artist's Way is Morning Pages and Artist's Date. Daily Morning Pages are three pages of unfiltered journaling. Punctuation, spelling, cohesive thought don't matter in Pages; spilling your uncensored thoughts from your head to the page do. The Artist's Date is a weekly solo outing that nurtures your creativity and allows you to connect with yourself. Dimity flung herself into The Morning Pages, and within days, an unexpected surprise surfaced: lightness. Her physical world and her busy calendar hadn't changed, but her mindset shifted. A gentle brightness began to infuse her days. Even though she took the course in the dead of winter, Morning Pages (and her occasional Artist's Date) recalibrated her internal temperature to perfect 65-degree, sunny day. Like spring on the inside. Now, over three years later, she's still doing Morning Pages, and is thrilled to create a program to guide you on your personal Path to Higher Creativity. If you're thinking, I'm not creative, think again. Creativity isn't reserved for artists, writers, and performers. It's part of being human. You may not feel it now, but creativity lives within you. When you begin to access your creativity, you also find your voice, your truth, and your joy. (And you may be inspired to pick up a paintbrush, a clump of clay, or your dusty knitting needles along the way!) For 12 transformative weeks, we'll explore one chapter per week as you build a deeper relationship with your creative self. With Morning Pages, Artist's Date, and our small, safe group as your steady companions, you'll unearth your creative, authentic, wise self one page at a time. Note: We are limiting this program to 20 participants to allow for an optimal group experience. -
BEST FOR: Beginner to intermediate runners who have their sights set on a 50 Mile race, likely on trails. PREREQS: Have completed a 50K within 12 months of starting program; no injuries, or are on your way to being injury-free—and willing to do the PT work you need to do to stay that way; have a nearby trail you can train on at least 1x/week (more is better); a nearby physical therapist who knows your body + your goals and who you can see regularly, especially in the thick of training; a foam rolling routine you will complete regularly (at least 3x a week); enough time to train and recovery properly (time to prepare food + eat well, foam roll, get adequate sleep) NUMBER OF WEEKS: 22This 22-week 50 Mile program is designed for beginner to intermediate runners who have their sights set on a 50 Mile race, likely on trails. There are five to six weekly runs and two weekly strength circuits that build a strong, capable body + mind so you can go the distance, feeling solid and happy, on race day.

BEST FOR: Beginner or intermediate runners looking to try a new distance beyond the 5K PREREQS: Consistent running or briskly walking for 20-30 minutes 3 days of the week for at least 8 weeks. Injury-free. No previous experience necessary in racing or in running by heart rate. NUMBER OF WEEKS: 15 Heart + Sole: 10K, Level 1 is a 15-week program suitable for all runners wanting to take on 10K—or 6.2 miles. You’ll learn—or continue—to train by heart rate, using your individual zones, calculated by regular testing, to moderate your effort appropriately. You’ll spend plenty of time in the lower zones, building your endurance base; you’ll also spend some time climbing hills, finding different gears with pick-ups and intervals, and practicing your race pace so that you’re ready to thrive on race day. -
You’ve been faithfully following the training program: putting in the miles and doing the strength circuits. You’re going to bed before 10 pm, you’ve eliminated your nightly glass of wine, and you’re even foam rolling as you watch Queer Eye on Netflix. You’re doing everything right, so why do you lose steam during your long runs—and sometimes even your shorter ones? Chances are, it’s your nutrition. You’re not properly fueling before and after, and most importantly, during your runs. And when you don’t eat for running performance and endurance, your GI tract might revolt. Your legs might feel heavy. You might get a killer headache or you might feel nauseous. Or the running-sucks-or-maybe-I-just-suck track might play on repeat in your head. Or you simply might incrementally peter out, like a car whose gas gauge inches towards E. -
BEST FOR: Well-trained and experienced marathoners PREREQS: Runners should have at least three marathons in the past three or four years; have established a solid base (long runs begin at 10 miles and the first week totals 27 miles); an injury free body. You will hit the ground running (literally!), so be mentally and physically ready for that reality. NUMBER OF WEEKS: 18Point blank: 26.2: Obliterate the Distance is our toughest traditional running plan, and you should be well-trained and injury free to even consider it. It’s going to take some deep digging and dedication, not to mention a big investment in time.
We want you to have at least three marathons under your belt and a good base in those legs (read: at least five years of running). That said, if you’re after a BQ or a PR, this plan is your best shot. You’re going to come out of this program stronger than ever and ready to take things to the next level. You’ll run hills and mile repeats, hang in during tempo sessions, and spend plenty of time at race pace. You’ll also hammer out eight runs that are 15 miles or longer, but there are two cutback weeks woven into the first 15 weeks before you taper.

BEST FOR: A wide range of women, from 10Kers looking to step up to new distance to marathoners dialing back on distance. The common thread is a desire to complete a half marathon with your body feeling strong and injury-free—and a smile on your face. PREREQS: The ability to currently finish a 6-mile easy run (Experience in shorter races is helpful but not mandatory.) NUMBER OF WEEKS: 15The 13.1 Run: This half marathon training plan will comfortably bring you up to half marathon glory over 15 weeks. Most of the runs are at an easy pace, making it perfect for a pair or group of women to take on together as you’ll have lots and lots of time on the road (or trail or adjacent treadmills) to talk.
-
BEST FOR: First-time half-marathoners or experienced half-marathoners who are new to training by heart rate PREREQS: Runs of at least 45-60 minutes 3-4 days of the week for at least 8 weeks. Injury-free. Previous race experience isn’t mandatory, but having a 10K under your soles will be helpful for perspective as your runs get longer. NUMBER OF WEEKS: 20 Heart + Sole: Half-Marathon, Level 1 is a 20-week program suitable for all runners wanting to take on 13.1—or 21 km. You’ll learn—or continue—to train by heart rate, using your individual zones, calculated by regular testing, to moderate your effort appropriately. You’ll spend plenty of time in the lower zones, building your endurance base; you’ll also spend some time climbing hills, finding different gears with pick-ups and intervals, and practicing your race pace so that you’re ready to thrive on race day. -
BEST FOR: Most athletes, whether you’re a beginner triathlete or an Ironman-to-be PREREQS: The ability to swim 100 yards (back and forth, back and forth) in a pool without touching the bottom or hanging on the edge; for the run and bike portions, being injury-free is necessary. If you haven't done a triathlon before, that's okay: This is a great place to give the training a spin. NUMBER OF WEEKS: 5, 10, or 15 Maybe you finished your first sprint triathlon in August, and you’re chomping at the bit to try an Olympic-distance event next summer. Or you just finished your third Half-Ironman, and you’re committed to becoming a more efficient swimmer this off-season. Or maybe you found a delicious swim/bike/run groove during your training cycle, and you’re just flat out missing it. This off-season triathlon training program is for you.
