Are you dreading the start of a new year and the pressure to “start over”, “lose weight”, and generally get your life together because it’s January 1?
I can definitely relate to that! We all have health and fitness goals that we want to accomplish, but sometimes it can be really stressful trying to figure out how to get it done and still keep a balanced life!
That’s why I’m really excited about the 21 Day Reset starting this January, hosted by Laura Peifer from Mommy Runs Fast! Curious about what it is? Keep reading, and maybe you’ll want to sign up too!
Today I’m linking up at Tuesdays on the Run with Marcia’s Healthy Slice, No-Guilt Life, and MCM Mama Runs. Check their sites to get some great running tips!

21 Day Reset Starts January 11, 2016
What is the 21 Day Reset? This is a group challenge that will help you start the year fresh by cleaning up your nutrition and building a baseline to become a stronger runner in 2016!
Laura is a Holistic Health Coach and Certified RRCA Running Coach and has been doing the 21 Day Reset and other wellness challenges for a few years now. The January Reset program includes the following:
- Meal plan templates and sample meal plans
- Healthy, easy seasonal recipes with lots of crock pot ideas
- Emails with tips and motivation
- Group accountability through a private Facebook group
Pretty cool right? Laura always has great recipes on her blog, so I can’t wait to see what she’s cooking up (sorry, I couldn’t resist!). And I know that I struggle with accountability, so I’m really looking forward to following through on this programt!
What’s really cool though is that for the first time, the reset will have an extra focus for runners who are looking to get stronger in the off-season. Laura has partnered with Rick Martins, a US kettlebell competitor and trainer to provide extra tips including:
- Nutrition tweaks to maximize your fitness and strength
- How to incorporate the four phases of strength training into your running plan
- Workouts to become a stronger runner
There will also be two live calls for runners to discuss:
- How you can incorporate phases of strength training to maximize its effectiveness and get stronger this winter
- Nutrition details to eat for strength and performance
Note: You do not have to be a runner to join the challenge! The live calls and bonus materials for runners are optional.
When you sign up, there are several levels of the program that you can choose from – just pick the one that best meets your goals:
- 21 Day Reset + Workouts
- 21 Day Reset + Workouts + Probiotics
- All of the Above + Natural Supplements + 15 Day Supply of Protein Smoothies
- All of the Above + 30 Days Worth of Protein + Breakthrough Call
Registration is now open! Get $10 off any of these programs by using the promo code “blog”!
My Goals for the Reset
I’m also really excited for the new addition of strength training for runners! Pretty much all month I’ve been saying how challenging it is to stay motivated to workout without following a training plan, so this is right on time!
I have some big running goals for 2016, but I know I can’t get it done if I don’t take my cross-training seriously. My hope is that the running tips will help me develop a routine that I can incorporate into my race training so that I can stay strong and injury-free.
The January Reset starts on Monday, January 11! You can get $10 off registration by using the promo code “blog”. Let me know if you have any questions, I hope to see you there!
Have you ever done a cleanse? Do you have any nutrition goals for the New Year?

I’m really excited to be doing this. I wish it started sooner!
I know right?! I need some guidance ASAP, with all of these leftover sweets from the holiday… Look forward to seeing you there!
This looks really interesting — I’m thinking about it! I probably wouldn’t do it if it were just food, but I love the focus on ST, too (and especially on kettlebells — I love kettlebells!).
Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Ooh let me know if you end up signing up, Judy! I think it’s going to be awesome!
Signed up!
YAY!!! 🙂
This sounds great I’m signed up for a 100 miles in January challenge and a couple others, I’ll have to look more into this one also. Great goals for the reset btw!
Thanks, Ivanna! There are so many great programs to kick off the new year. 100 miles in January sounds awesome!
Good luck with your reset! I ma going WHOLE 30 in starting January 4th!
Thanks, Margo! I’ve heard great things about Whole30…definitely not ready for that. Good luck with it!
Good thing it starts on the 11th. That way I can indulge during marathon wkend at Disney. Although I won’t be signing up, I plan on doing my own reset when I get back.
That sounds great, Lacey! I’m so looking forward to doing my first official reset!
Sounds like a fantastic program! I love how it incorporates strength-training for runners, which is always a challenge. Accountability is huge!
I’m really looking forward it starting up!
Thanks for sharing, Janelle! I’m really excited to kick it off soon with all of you!
Good luck to you, it sounds like a really good plan! I did a clean eating challenge for three weeks in June and I enjoyed it. My body did feel better and I plan on doing something similar in January, too many goodies over the holidays 🙂
Yes these holidays are NO joke and I have so many sweets left over that need to be out of my sight! I could definitely see myself doing a clean eating challenge twice a year to stay on track!
I did Laura’s reset in fall of 2014. It was a good one! Enjoy!
Oh that’s awesome, I’m really looking forward to this!
Good luck reaching your goals! Sounds like you have a great plan and you’re ready to get going! Happy New Year!
Thanks so much, Jenn! Happy New Year!
I’ve done her 21 day clean eating reset and it was awesome. I have been on the fence on doing this one, but the emphasis on strength training is really drawing me in!
Yes, the strength training piece is super exciting. Let me know if you decide to sign up! 🙂
I’m miffed that I missed the start of the 21day Reset Challenge! I hope there’ll be another one soon so I can join in! 🙂
I’m not sure when the next one will be but if you go to http://www.laurapeifer.com/ you should be able to find out more info or contact Laura directly!
