Athlete Accomplishments: June 2019

In coaching, I love those moments when a workout or a race result pops up and my first reaction is “you’re awesome!” These moments are not about finish times (although sometimes seeing a big PR after a dedicated training cycle does elicit this response). These moments come from when true grit and passion happen during a race, when a runner gives their best no matter the circumstances of the day. This month, athletes raced PRs, placed in their age groups, and gave their absolute best on ...

Athlete Accomplishments: May 2019

May wraps up spring race season - and for the runners I coach, it was a strong conclusion to spring racing.  Alexa raced a 6-min half marathon PR at the Snohomish Women's Run! Jennifer ran a mentally strong half marathon in tough conditions at the Long Island Half! Aimee ran the Snohomish Women's Run half marathon as part of a long run! Lindsey placed 8th woman overall at a 25K urban trail race in Luxembourg! Pete raced a strong marathon at close to his PR time at the ...

Most runners fit their training around busy schedules of work, family, and other activities. They put in the hard work when it isn’t glamorous or convenient - and that is a huge accomplishment. I first met Emma in our ...

Athlete Accomplishments April 2019

April was a busy month of racing, with spring race season fully in swing. April racing was a month of triumphs, both in terms of finish times and overcoming race day obstacles. Some athletes ran PRs and BQs; others encountered the unpleasant weather that comes with spring (overly hot days) and ran their best for the conditions of the day.  Jodi qualified again for Boston at the Boston Marathon! Kellie completed her first marathon! Laura A. ran a strong 10 mile race! Mark ran a ...

Athlete Accomplishments: March 2019

If March had a theme in racing, it's that you are stronger than you think. Several of the runners I coach raced in March after months of hard winter training. Others completed hard workouts and long runs with their sights set on spring and early summer races.  The most exciting thing about racing is not just the finish times; it's when an athlete has an "I can't believe I just did that" moment. Several of these runners did more than run a distance faster than before: they crossed ...
