A bit more about Run Team - Run Team is our new training group for trail runners in Calgary! We meet every Monday and Wednesday at 6:30pm in Bowmont Park for hills or intervals followed by a strength session all coached in person by me!
Rather than just a social run, Run Team Athletes also get a full weekly training schedule via TrainingPeaks, including run, strength and prehab workouts, and all the other @personal_peak perks. It`s the perfect way to keep motivated this offseason, and build a solid foundation for next summer! Find out more at the link in my bio!
We had yet another great how to crew clinic down at Sinister 7 on Friday! It`s been so much fun watching the results come in so far this weekend, good luck to all the runners still out on course!
