Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

  If you are new to this blog, welcome! If you are a frequent reader, thank you for your continued passion for all things nutrition, health and wellness. It's crazy to think that I have been blogging since 2007!  Over the past few years, I have had the opportunity to write three fitness/nutrition-related books.  Each book was a labor of love. Words are powerful and it can be difficult to get the right ones on paper to appeal to a mass audience. Writing a book can be a fulfilling and rewarding experience but it isn't without challenges.  Essential Sports Nutrition was my very first book. When a publishing company reached out to me to write this book, a long-time dream had been fulfilled. I put so much time, effort, brain power and research into this book as I wanted it to be perfect. I was then asked to write The 365-Day Running Journal. While this book was not as scientifically in-depth as my first book, the creative process required me to think differently when crea...

I'm super thrilled to announce that we are just one week away from the release of my new book  The 365-day Running Journal . I can't wait for you to get it in your hands so that you can start logging your workouts while staying motivated with lots of inspiring quotes and tips.  I'd like to extend a huge thank you to the following professionals who reviewed my book. " The 365-Day Running Journal  is flawlessly designed to encourage an individual to document their running journey. The uniqueness of this journal is the expert advice provided by author Marni Sumbal who is a nationally recognized sports dietitian, coach, and athlete herself. Marni provides the reader with helpful tips each week followed by a section to comprehensively document details of the workout. Throughout the journal Marni gives  advice on how to develop a training plan, provides up-to-date nutritional guidance, and tips to prevent against injury . The weekly and monthly tips found throug...

We are getting close to the release date of my new book "The 365-day Running Journal." With only a few weeks to go, I wanted to share a few snippets of educational material that you can find within the journal to help you get more out of your exercise regime. While this book is called a running journal, you don't have to be a runner to log your workouts, record your milestones and maintain motivation through inspirational quotes and tips. Cross Training Running more doesn’t always lead to running better. Although a certain amount of training stress and specificity is needed for training adaptations, running harder, longer or more often is not the answer. As with any type of sport, there are potential side effects to the age-old “more is better” myth. To reduce the chance of an overuse injury, you need to let your run-specific muscles heal. Cross-training can be defined as engaging in different types of activities from your main sport. Since running is full-body,...

A big thank you to Meg and Kelly with Fillnow Coaching for hosting a giveaway for my new book "The 365-Day Running Journal." Check out their Instagram to read the many inspiring responses of how others would use this journal for health, wellness and fitness. If you are interested in hosting a giveaway to help me promote my new journal/book with your athletes/community, just send me an email. I just realized that I never selected a winner for my last giveaway on August 28th, so I'd love to give you one more opportunity to select your favorite running store for a chance to be entered in the giveaway for my new book. When it comes to running gear, we love to shop local. Spending money at your local running stores helps keep the money local. They also take up less space, and make less waste. Not to mention, they usually buy locally and live locally. Lastly, your voice gets heard. If there is something you want to see sold in a store, or you have a problem, the o...

Running, like any other individual sport, teaches you many life lessons. It's simple, and yet deceptively complex. People run for different reasons, such as weight loss, health or stress relief. Running doesn't discriminate. With every run, you're presented with a new challenge, a time to reflect and an opportunity to problem-solve. It's your cherished "me time," a way to run from, for or to something. It connects you with your community, helps you explore nature, inspires you to travel the world, and temporarily removes you from the stresses of life. The confidence and feeling of accomplishment from any type of run will carry over into your daily life, reminding you that you have the strength to conquer anything that comes your way. Running is the ultimate badge of perseverance. More than just a blank space to document your training miles, the 365-day Running Journal is designed to teach you more about yourself as you give mean...
