FAQs
How will beyond the miles help me get faster?
Beyond the Miles uses synergy to give you results! Lots of programs offer nutrition, and sports psychology has been around for a long time! But, when you combine both in a program based in science, you get a cumulative effect!
I am balancing my training with the rest of my life- how do i fit this in?
Margaret and Cress can definitely relate. So, here is some authenticity. We both work, have families, and run! But, we both have learned the value of psychology and nutrition in our training. This program is designed for real people, with real lives outside of training who need a program that is self-paced and flexible.
what if I get injured?
We have both been injured, and know how tough training can be on the body. This program is designed to make you resilient. We created the program in part to do more than prevent injury. We did it to facilitate recovery and to be proactive in maintaining a healthy body and mind. Because our program is self-paced, you can stop and start whenever you need.

So, will i gain weight in this program?
We get this question ALL THE TIME! And, we get it. There’s a lot of pressure from society to be thin, and adding to your diet is counterintuitive. We’re going to be real with you. This program is designed to give you the energy you need to crush workouts and improve your overall performance. Sometimes you will lose weight in the process, sometimes gain, and a lot of times not notice much change!
How much should i run with this program?
This is a tough question that is so dependent on individual differences! Performance is often demonstrated with an inverted U-shape. At low mileage performance is low, then you reach your optimal mileage, then performance drops again when you go beyond that. People differ on how much recovery they need. Track your performance as you increase mileage to find your sweet spot!
