Beastly Boston Marathon - Tales of the Day

Picture
We train with the idea that race day will be this great and amazing day and why wouldn’t we? But, sometimes this is not the case. Sometimes it is our bodies that are not cooperating and sometimes our heads get in our own way. Sometimes things completely out of our control can become the stumbling blocks. This year the Boston Marathon proved that you can still have a great day even when conditions conspire against you.

CLA athlete Marcelo fills us in on his Boston Marathon experience. We love his can-do attitude and thoughtful approach to worst-case conditions!! We love the photos too!

Tales from the Day - Around the Bay 18k

Picture
CLA Team Members compete in events all over the world and this highlight takes us to Ontario, Canada.

Recently Rebecca F completed Around the Bay Road Race. This 30k (18.6 miles) road race is one of the oldest running races on the continent as it was first held in 1894!

This race takes place in Hamilton, Ontario on the shores of Lake Ontario. It’s a sneaky course in that the first 12 miles are flat and then hills kick in for the last miles. Like all of us, Rebecca was hoping to start off easy and run stronger at the finish. She wanted to practice fueling and the mental skills she has been working on.

How did she do?

IMAZ 2017 - The Tale of a PR!

Picture
A huge congrats to Jeff B for his recent PR at IronMan Arizona (IMAZ) in November!

Jeff completed his first Ironman way back in 2000 and now, 17 years later, has a shiny new PR of 11:59:41! Jeff shares with us the challenges of his training and of race day and how he brought it all together!

As a coach, I am thrilled on every level for Jeff. He has a family, kids, a busy life, and a busy career filled with travel (he is a pilot!), yet we’ve managed to figure out what works for him to make it to the start line of goal races healthy and ready to go. Jeff shares with us the challenges of his training, of race day, and how he brought it all together this year at IMAZ!

Does Walking in a Race Mean Your Race is Over?

Picture

I, I, I can’t believe I walked.
I’ve never walked before in a race.
Maybe I should give up racing.
How did this happen?
Where did the wheels come off?
Ugh, should I DNF?

The above words can flash through your mind about a thousand times in a forever moment spanning all of three seconds. Before you can even go from run to walk mode your mind has already processed half a dozen conversations with fellow runners, family members, coworkers, the mailman, and the very patient family dog on just how/why this happened.

Well, walk happens.
