Team Norris Running: Year in Running 2020

Team Norris Running: Year in Running 2020

2020 will be known for many things; for runners, it was the year without races. High stress, stay-at-home orders, Covid-19, and other circumstances disrupted the normal flow of training and racing. However, even the most tumultuous years have bright spots. The runners on Team Norris Running put forth their best effort in this hard year, through virtual races, time trials, personal accomplishments, overcoming unexpected injuries, and making the most of running during a pandemic.  I asked ...

Athlete Accomplishments: March 2020

If this post has a spirit animal, it would be an overly-enthusiastic lab/cattle dog mix. There is an abundance of exclamation points. But after a month of disappointments in cancelled races and anxiety over public health and employment, we all need a celebration of accomplishments, big and small.  I am extraordinarily fortunate to coach an amazing cohort of athletes. They continue to work hard despite cancelled races and added life stress.  Jessica started running again pain-free ...

Athlete Accomplishments: October 2019

October is one of the biggest racing months of the year, from big races like the Chicago Marathon to small, local races. Dozens of Team Norris Running athletes raced this October. For many, these races yielded PRs, both overall PRs and course PRs. For others, while they didn't have the race day they trained for, they demonstrated remarkable grit and strength on tough days - which is as remarkable as a PR.  Sam ran a 3-minute course PR in a 5K race and a half marathon PR/course PR at the ...

Athlete Highlight: How Eric Ran a Six Minute Half Marathon PR

August 9, 2019

How Eric Ran a Six Minute PR in the Half Marathon

While running is not solely about finish time, there is something incredibly satisfying about putting in months of hard work and running a hard-earned PR on race day. Eric started working with me in the summer of 2018 to train for an October half marathon, after a few years of long distance running on his own. His PR at that time was a 1:53 from recent race. In the past year of coaching, he’s taken six minutes off of this half marathon time - and is continuing to make progress as he trains for ...
