"IN RUNNING, WHATEVER EFFORT YOU INVEST DIRECTLY DURING YOUR TRAINING CYCLE SHAPES THE OUTCOME YOU ACHIEVE. IT'S THE SAME WHEN IT COMES TO OTHER ENDEAVORS YOU HAVE IN LIFE; IT ECHOSE WHATEVER ENERGY YOU EMIT. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT. SO, I LIVE BY THAT IDEA."
"RUNNING HAS BECOME A PRIORITY AS IT GIVES ME A CHANCE TO TAKE A BREAK FROM MY BUSY LIFE AND SHIFT MY FOCUS ON THE PRESENT. IT HELPS ME REMEMBER THE THINGS THAT TRULY MATTER."

We want to give a voice to all the runners that RUN the LA running scene, so we collaborated with Arby Abrahan for our latest campaign series: “A Runner’s Story”.

Arby been training as an athlete all her life, so when she decided to take on running during the pandemic, it’s no surprise that in just 3 quick years she’s already claimed the title of Co-Captain with koreatownrunclub along with her own physical therapy business and personal strength coach certification to go with it.

Arby has already completed two marathons so far, LA Marathon in 2021 and 2024. We asked Arby to share more on what she thought of her LAM experience’s and long distance racing in general…"LA’s a rough course but it’s homecourt, so I had to do it. I can’t say that I enjoyed the entire ride as mile 18-22 whooped my butt, but it was all so worth the fight to be handed that medal at the finish line.”

"THE INITIAL INTRIGUE OF RUNNING LONG DISTANCES WAS MORE ABOUT TESTING MY OWN LIMITS."

Arby is the type of runner that sets a goal, and puts in the work to accomplish it. "In running, whatever effort you invest directly during your training cycle shapes the outcomes you achieve. It’s the same when it comes to other endeavors you have in life; it echoes whatever energy you emit. It’s as simple as that. So, I live by that idea. “

Arby has also built a business on helping individuals on any level move better and feel stronger. She’s a physical therapist an strength coach that cares to educate properly and helps you heal and progress to reach your goals.

Passion and persistence is Arby’s killer combo, and she continues to inspires this growing running community, all while rocking that infectious smile.
