Run Your First 21K Without Sacrifice, Pain, or Early Morning Torture

💡 Imagine This…
You cross the finish line of your very first half marathon.
Your medal is shining, your makeup is still intact, your hair is Instagram-ready, and you’re smiling because… you actually enjoyed every single step.

No 5 AM wake-ups.
No military-style workouts.
No crying on the pavement wondering why you signed up for this in the first place.

Sound impossible?
Not anymore.

Inside this beautifully simple guide, you’ll discover:

💖 A Gentle 12-Week Plan: Flexible, forgiving, and designed for lazy mornings and guilt-free rest days.
💖 Minimal Gear, Maximum Comfort: The three essentials that actually matter (spoiler: it’s not a $300 watch).
💖 No-Diet, No-Guilt Fueling: Eat real food, enjoy snacks, and still have energy to finish strong.
💖 Recovery That Feels Like Spa Day: Baths, skincare, naps—because “rest” is your new power move.
💖 Race Day Strategy for Slow Girls: How to avoid the hype, go your own pace, and take THAT perfect finish-line shot.

about The author

Hi, I’m Luciana. I’ve been running for nearly 20 years—all thanks to a friendly challenge from a coworker to complete a 5K. From the first stride, I was hooked. Not long after, I found myself crossing the finish line of my first half marathon.

Today, I’m a certified personal trainer, nutritionist, RYT-500 Yoga Alliance instructor, and—yes!—a certified running coach.

I created this unique guide because, over the years, I discovered that running isn’t just a workout; it’s my personal self-care ritual. I wanted to share the joy of running simply for the love of it—not for competition or performance.

This guide is for women who want to run without pressure or sacrifice. For those looking to create a routine that carves out time for themselves, to reflect, reset, and grow. And why do I believe in this so deeply? Because it’s exactly what I’ve done for nearly two decades.
