Every week, Heartbreak hosts runners in-person in LA, Boston & Chicago. Not everyone can make the sessions, though. In order to reach our Heartbreakers, non-profit partners, & other athletes training all over the world, Coach Marielle sends out a Friday intention-setting message ahead of the long runs (watch below). We'll share them here each week. Want to train for LA with us? Learn more about LA training here.
