The Zero to Running app is an app with-in the PEAR Sports system and is a ten week program geared to people who want to learn to run the fun way (in color). The PEAR Sports app allows me to create workouts like long runs, run-walking for newbies or speed workouts and truly coach you every step of the way. If you use the heart rate monitor (not required) I can even coach you based on how your body is responding in the moment. If you%u2019re not pushing hard enough, I coach you to push harder. If you%u2019re running too hard, I%u2019ll coach you to slow down. Plus, there is an easy to follow fitness assess-ment that automatically determines your heart rate zones based on your current fitness. In order to do this in the past, you%u2019d have to go to a sports lab and spend $150 on a test. It%u2019s incredible technology, it%u2019s real-ly motivating to hear a coach teach you how to run, how to improve your form and how to run in color. The PEAR Sports app is a free download and there are tons of free workouts so you can try it out and see what you think. There are workouts by the leading coaches in the world for many sports including cycling, running, yoga, strength, skiing, and even stand up paddle boarding! It%u2019s a game changer. FMM: Do you offer running coaching for men?JH: I do and I always have. When I started my first coaching company, I hosted group training and there were 70% men and 30% women. With the growth of women in the sport that percentage has shifted so I coach about 70% women now and 30% men. It%u2019s fun and interesting as men and women learn and train so differently and I get to coach in both worlds. FMM: How many hours a day do you spend with your husband? JH: It depends. We both travel together, separately and work from home. So we can be together 100% of the time when home or on the road, or not see each other for days. It%u2019s our normal and we have come up with a system that works well for us. FMM: Are there any marital challenges working with your husband? Is there any part of your career that he does not specialize in? Are you two just a perfect match? JH: There can be. My husband and I have independent brands so we work most of the time on very different projects, but we also own a running vacation production company called The Running Cruise, where we host running vacations on cruise ships all over the world. Sometimes he has more experience, sometimes I do, and it ebbs and flows based on what we%u2019re working on. We%u2019re both entrepreneurial and I believe that has been key, as we both understand the challenges. Our strength is in al-lowing each other to grow and evolve personally and professionally. I have learned so much from him and respect the work he did to build his brand and following in the running industry. I%u2019m grateful that he%u2019s been a mentor and coach and we%u2019ve had a lot of fun through the years. It%u2019s hard not to when you%u2019re around happy runners all the time though. The hardest part has been working on balance in life and finding down time for our bucket list items. We%u2019re a work in progress, and enjoying every minute.
