Every week, Heartbreak hosts runners in-person in Boston & Chicago for Chicago & NYC Marathon training. Not everyone can make the sessions though. In order, to reach our Heartbreakers and charity partners training all over the world, Coach Dan sends out a Friday intention setting message ahead of the long runs. We'll share them here each week. Want to train for Chicago or NYC with us? Learn more here.
