Really love each of these messages I received last week! We have indeed put a lot of effort into class. I think we started with a solid rough draft in 2015 and have refined it about 30 times since then. Appreciate every class of guinea pigs we’ve experimented on along the way (2 more groups start this week!)

Also, I’m probably 80% introvert and suspect most distance runners lean that way, but we’ll take all comers. I think the only real motivation is internal, so if you need someone to yell at you, you don’t really want it anyway. 🤷
Not opposed to man hugs or any other hug, but I’ll let you lead on that. 🤣

Cardio + Strength. What a concept!

“I used to think – just personally – that the most important thing for good cardiovascular health was being aerobically fit. As long as you go for a run and keep fit aerobically, then you’re going to be okay,” he says.
“The reality is, we have to keep our anaerobic capacity too. You need to work hard to keep your muscles exercised and developed, and maintain muscle strength.”

A ‘second heart’ is located below your knees, and you need to get it pumping

What a morning!! 8 team members ran the Cville Women’s Four Miler in Virginia, 1 ran it virtually in Florida for extra humidity. 5 placed in the top 10 of their respective age groups. Merry Ellen Barnett and Darcy Dirksen headed over to Andy's Backyard Ultra for a “cool down” race preview run….and if this was a preview of things to expect at this years race, then it’ll be a really interesting year!
Really proud of this team and so privileged to work with these amazing athletes.

(Apologies to anyone I missed 🫣)

Lovely Sunday morning in the office hanging out with Ryan Dell and Cal Tri Events & California Triathlon Cville!
Got to cheer on Allie Pesch and hangout with a few other PRMD athletes who came by to spectate. Alyssa Marie Schuyler Cox and a few other Crozetians raced as well! Nice seeing Dr. Dr. Abigail Bideaux competing too.
Always appreciate the support from Charlottesville-Alb. Rescue and glad we didn’t need their help today. Outside of a little free advice (worth the price) for a flared up Achilles, there were zero injuries!!
