🥶ready for group run tomorrow? 8 am leaving from Chroma, one block east of Runnjng Niche. Coffee/cocoa and muffins in the Chroma lobby after. Congratulations to Michael Roy!! At last Sunday's NYC Marathon Michael achieved a new PR of 3:00:39. His former PR of 3:05 was set 19 years ago in the Cleveland Marathon at the age of 20. He also ran negative splits for NYC running his back half faster than his first half. Michael trained under his first Lydiard Method cycle for this marathon and it was indeed a pleasure to talk him during his 24 week program and provide advice. He'll be starting his second Lydiard cycle after the proper recovery time pointing towards a spring race. If you would like to learn more about the Lydiard Method please stop in the store, we'd enjoy talking with you about it. Or visit http://www.runningwizard.com/ Congratulations Michael for a job well done! We’d like to let you know about the Founders Day 5k which is a run celebrating the 150-year legacy of @stlcop! Head to stlcop.edu/foundersday to register or email kilinyaa.cothran@stlcop.edu with questions. Join us this Wednesday for our weekly 5k walk/run group! This week we welcome special guest Dr. Greg Neff, chiropractor, who will be on hand to take Q & A. All our group runs are free and open to all paces! Hearty congrats to Marie O'Leary. At yesterdays @indymonumental Half Marathon she ran a new PR of 1:23:34 with negative splits and placed 17th in the 25-29 division and 34th overall women. Leading up to this race Marie PR'd in the 5k in 18:42 at the Biz Dash, 1:25:40 for the half at Mo'Cowbell and 38:00 for the 10k at the GO! Halloween 10k. Coming into the fall racing season her half marathon PR was 1:28:30. Marie went on her first Lydiard Method training cycle, which finished yesterday. After a well deserved two weeks of rest and recovery, she will start her second Lydiard cycle targeting a April 2019 marathon. If you are targeting a full or a half in April now is the time to start. If you would like to learn more about the Lydiard Method, stop in the store and Jen or I would enjoy talking with you.
