    We love (hate) our battle ropes.

When done with that rep, all your muscles burn, you are gasping for air, and sweat pours down your face.

Seconds later, you wipe your brow and grab the rope. It is time to go again. Now, you earn your competitive advantage this offseason.

    There is no shortcut on the journey to achieving your peak performance. If you don't put the time and energy in, then be prepared to accept coming up short of your goals.

    The right strength development is dependent upon proper technique, progression, and rest.

In the LEAP-Coaching High School & Collegiate Strength program, we apply a progressive approach to fitness development. This includes form instruction and correction for our newest athletes. The balance, agility, and strength routines start from simply and transition to more complex as the athlete develops. While it appears to be the same workout, slight difference allow for optimal personal gains. A closer look, and you'll notice not everyone is doing the same workout.

We have room for a few more athletes.  PM us for more info.

    Best form of the day with the Copenhagen Plank Hold. Great for developing core and adductor (groin) strength. A seriously challenging exercise for most, but @brendan.duhamel felt so good, he gave us a thumbs ➡️.

    Yeah, we are happy too.

LEAP-Coaching will now offer a winter Strength and Conditioning program out of the  @waterford_fitness facility. 

We have sent out emails to all our previous Summer Strength & Conditioning athletes outlining the details. PM me for details.

LEAP-Coaching has been working with regional high school and collegiate level athletes for 6 years now. The focus has been to improve athletic balance and game day strength and conditioning. We have had success training Lacrosse, Football,  Soccer, Track, and Cross-Country athletes. Our athletes stay healthy and a step ahead of the competition.

    Safety First.

Since 2015 I have carried a GPS emergency beacon on my bigger adventures. Santa must have known it was time for an upgrade to the @garminoutdoor GPSMAP 66i with @geosworldwide . Time to plan the next adventure to the @whitemountains . Make safety a priority.  Even bad things happen to the most experienced of us.

    That path you are on may have detours ahead. Are you ready to roll with changes?  Can you adapt your training to accomplish your goals?  Are you flexible enough to adjust your goals when circumstances hint that you should?

Why follow a generic multi-month training plan that cannot adjust to your progress and needs over time?

What if you are sick and miss several days training, what did that pre-paid plan say to do?

Find your experienced coach at LEAP-Coaching, where we regularly evaluate and adjust your training plan based on your fitness development, life's stresses, competition schedule changes, etc.

    Are you letting outside events dictate unplanned downtime?

Make training a priority.  This means communicate your plans with friends and family. It also means check your calendar (Doctor's appointment, etc) and long term weather forecast (Storms). Adapt and over-come. Plan ahead and move days around so you complete key workouts. Consider moving your recovery days to schedule/weather conflicts. Don't wake up on Wednesday and be surprised by the weather and miss a training day.

    6 months seems a long way off till we host another camp, nevertheless, we are always looking to add new gear for the Summer Strength & Conditioning Program.

We have been talking about incorporating weighted jump ropes to the S&C program since the end of last summer. Talk no more...@crossropejumpropes are ordered!  This is another step towards enhancing our athletes' neuromuscular response and quickness, giving them the edge they seek.

    By far not my fastest, nor my slowest. 

Even though my legs felt fresh and were ready to fly, that was not on the plan.  Today I kept the race horses back in the barn, and just enjoyed the miles at a comfortable pace. 

Good strength to be gained, at little fatigue cost. Maybe tomorrow, the horses will ride hard!

Picked up a new pair of road shoes, as my road miles tend to increase during the winter months.

I am excited to lace up the @altrarunning Torin 4.5.  This will allow me to save my Olympus and LonePeak for the trails. I am sticking with the brand the works, year round, on any surface.

    Monday after completing the Shenipsit Trail End to End (50mile) is still a work day. Today I focus maximizing recovery to get me back on trail ASAP.  Techniques include extra hydration, increase in nutrient dense calories, compression, extra sleep, and massage.

My feet were beat up from this run. Possibly the most post-run ache is not in my legs, but rather my feet. Solution: lacrosse ball massages.  I will roll the foot over the ball several times today, slowly increasing the weight. Easy enough to do while sitting at my desk working.

    She dreams up the craziest shit.

A year ago, @shannonrae79 suggested we run the #duncanridgetrail50k on Saturday, and #flyingmonkeymarathon in Sunday. I agreed, as a challenge is a challenge.

This was the most challenging 50km of my career.  Leaf covered technical trail, freezing rain, and 10,000 feet of both gain and loss.  Sunday's recovery marathon was something for the ages. I have never claimed to be the smartest ultramarathoner, but dumb shit simply appeals to me.

No challenges this year, darn Covid. I am sure she has something in mind for 2021!

    I hope the coyotes got the memo.  No hunting the trail runners on the weekends. @lymelandtrust  the Jonhston Preserve is another great addition!  Looped Johnston, Jewett, Eno, and Mount Archer for a nice 10 miler.

    What is this?  @garmin Forerunner 945 showed a little side trail, and claimed a bathroom was in the middle of the woods, just off the main Goodwin Trail.

Garmin, you so smart!

    Exploring @ctforestandparkassociation Mattabesett Trail. Lots of ridgeline running with great views. Plenty of stops to take it all in, ignore the Garmin.

    The kudos keep flying, much like LEAP-Coaching athlete @gaetajake did this weekend. An ultramarathoner for the last couple of years, that decided to pursue a new 5km personal record this fall.

Congratulations Jake 'Miles' with his new 35 second 5km PR (21:25). He said he enjoyed the intervals these last few weeks....and wants more!

    Congratulations LEAP-Coaching athlete @gritlife_with_trish with her first 50km finish!  She rebounded after having last week's attempt interupted by mother nature. Perseverance got her out again, and her grit saw that she finished.

Patrick is 65 miles into his 100 mile run on the track. He is on pace for possible sub 19 hours.

He has had a big support team throughout. A huge help, especially with these later miles.

Keep it up Patrick!

    Patrick is nearly 1/4 of the way towards running 100 miles on the track. Temperatures are rising quickly but he still feels good.. Friends and family are crewing and pacing.  Swing by and provide him some encouragement today.  I'll start pacing around mile 80 this evening.

    The deadliest beast in the woods.

A friend nearly lost her scalp cuz of these things.

I ran past, and kept looking back. The fear that it was coming for me was overwhelming. According to Garmin, I now have a new max heart rate after this run.
