The Difference Between Forward and Backwards Isn't a Setback...

Backwards Is a Pace is the much-anticipated follow-up to Adina O'Neill's No. 1 bestseller, Forward Is a Pace. This time, Adina explores what happens when injury, aging, adversity, rest or simply life changes the plan.
Through her own experiences and the stories of the athletes and experts around her, she reminds us that progress isn't always about pushing forward. Sometimes we need to slow down, step back, change direction or rethink the goal.
Backwards isn't failure. Sometimes, it's exactly the pace we need.

Through Team B*REAL, Adina coaches athletes privately and in small groups, meeting people where they are and helping them build confidence, pursue meaningful goals and find a place where they belong.
Her own journey took her from being unable to run a mile to completing more than 100 endurance events, including the Paris Marathon, IRONMAN Mont Tremblant, multiple ice swims and a 13-mile swim. She also became the first person to complete the famous Boston Light Swim entirely by backstroke.

Forward or backwards...keep moving.

This book is for anyone whose training didn't go according to plan.
It's for the athlete dealing with injury, a changing body, a changing goal or a season when progress doesn't look the way it used to.
It's for the person standing on the sidelines wondering if they belong...the beginner surrounded by people who seem to know exactly what they're doing...and the person who doesn't call themselves an athlete yet.
It's for anyone learning that slowing down, resting, starting over or changing direction doesn't erase everything that came before.
You may not "look" like an athlete. You don't have to move at anyone else's pace. And you don't have to prove that you belong.
You are already an athlete. You just haven't realized it yet.
GET READY TO PIVOT.
