About Us

We are 2 runners from Chicago who have a love for all things running. After meeting through Instagram and discovering that we were both running the same marathons that fall, we began to meet up to share our experiences. 

​

While we both have a passion for running, our individual paths to running were very different. Zhenya was a high school track athlete who has been running competitively since she was 14. She is an RRCA certified run coach and currently training for a sub-3 hour marathon. Janet is an average runner who started running after 40, and is getting into her stride!

​

Although we run at different paces, we often run the same races - such is the beauty of this sport! We enjoy sharing our individual (and often wildly different) experiences. We hope this blog can be a resource for our fellow runners as we share our goals, challenges, and lessons learned along the way. 

​

Come stride with us!
