This is how you crush it without racing!

Congrats Joel on a new FKT!

We set out to get this a couple months back. Lots of long and steady state runs later results in a mind blowing performance.

A little different #tbt

Montville XC State Open individual performance stats.

We list the athletes that earned All-State at the State Open. Currently Top 25 @ Open earn the award. Some time ago, it was top 20.

Also listed are those athletes that have made it the open all 4 years.

Who will add their name to the history books, and run their way into the Open?

One week to go! 50km route planned through the Sandwich Range of the White Mountains National Forest. Five 4kers on the agenda and one gnarly descent off of Mount Tripyramid. Fast packing/trail running with an overnight back country camping location picked out. Pictures when we are done!

While friends and family slept in, these local athletes were up early grinding through another tough interval session.

What did you do this summer?

LEAP-Coaching Summer Strength & Conditioning gives regional high school and collegiate athletes the advantage over their competition.

If you missed it this year, good luck keeping up with this crew.

Real talk: I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared. Big goals should be a little scary, I think. Marathon training is a freaking beast, physically and emotionally. After taking a season to focus on speed, I’ve been nervous to buckle down again. But I put on my lights and headed out into the dark drizzly morning to get it done. Keep showing up, every damn day.

Traveling at high of speed into the butt end of a 6" diameter log doesn't end well for me.

Run cut way short. Looks like some mandatory days off. Lots of pain! @kurrecoveryspa need you help!!

This past weekend was supposed to my 5th Vermont100.

It would have been another scorcher this year. After successfully getting through last year's Vermont100 inferno, I have all the confidence I would have found the finish line again this year.

Over the years, I've learned to put my trust in my support team. Some days their work is easier than others. Last year, my crew worked harder than any crew I had before. With temps in the upper 90s, they did everything to balance cooling and steady forward progress. They were on a mission, and they saw to it that I crossed the finish once again.

Be comfortable putting your life in somebody else's hands. Trust that they may have better insight than you, and relinquish the control. Focus on your task at hand, to simply put one foot in front of the other.

𝔸𝕔𝕔𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝔻𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕠𝕡𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕥.

30 yard acceleration sprints.

Baselines performed without resistance. Added @rogue sleds and accurately measured change with @freelapglobal timing system to the hundredth of a second hands-free. The ideal resistance for acceleration development should result in a 8%-10% slowdown off of baseline.

Following this approach, we can identify the right resistance to improve athlete's power without compromising their sprint mechanics, ultimately improving acceleration. All too often athletes pull too much weight because anything less is 'too easy'. Sometimes, improvement doesn't always require strain.

Introduction to Trail Running Week 4.

Spent a few minutes talking about training differences between trail and road running. Specifically quad and ankle strength demands of trails. Additionally topics included focusing on run duration instead of mileage and how heart rate should be driver over pace when determining intensity.

Then we ventured off exploring the @lymelandtrust Hartman Preserve (White, Orange, and Red) for an hour (4.5 miles).

Next trail run will be Tuesday, at Mt Archer Preserve.

Commitment takes sacrifice. They were up early, before coach even had a cup of coffee. Their reward will not be offered to them today, but rather after months of hard work.

Soccer conditioning completes the first of four weekly hill repeats with 6x150 meters on 3-5%grade @ 400m intensity. Recovery is 4 min mix active & passive. Everybody hit their targets.

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail"

I spent the most time race day planning for Bigfoot200 than any other race of my life. Days of packing, weather checks, and 'What-If' scenerio planning helped me to be fully prepared for the terrain and elements. Heat, cold, rain, big ascents, technical terrain, river crossings, etc were not going to stop me. While I was unsuccessful (DNF), it wasn't as the result of poor planning.

Invest the time before your big race preparing for what may arise so that you don't need to problem solve in the race. You cannot over-prepare.

The Introduction to Trail Running program continued today at Becket Hill State Park Preserve in Lyme Connecticut.

A short little doozey that comes with a tough one-two combo in a short 4.4 miles. It hits you with long steady climbs (850 feet total gain) on fairly technical terrain. It will raise your hesrt rate, generate sweat on the brow, and burn those leg muscles.

With 13 runners and two hikers, this was the largest group since this program started last year. I am excited to see the growing interest in our local trails and trail running.

*Sled Day*

Meet Bertha, our @roguefitness 100lb Dog Sled, perfect for quad destruction drags, pulls, and pushes. Our athletes are often reminded how Bertha appears to gain weight in the middle of a set.

Bertha shares the training fields with the Betsy twins, a pair of 38lb @roguefitness S-25 Fat Boys. Either Betsy or Betsy are great for weighted sprint resistance or forward sled drags.

As we work to improve athlete sprint acceleration and leg strength, our sled family make regular visits to the workouts. Athletes see measurable progress over time as they increase the weight on the sleds.

Our fourth week of introducing local trails to new trail runners.

This week we completed a 4 mile run through the Hartman Preserve (Lyme, CT). The group has really enjoyed the last few runs, and there is some talk about extending the program beyond the planned 6 weeks. 👍👍👍 #leap_coaching #trailrun #optoutside #trails #connecticutforestandparkassociation

"Promotion"

Whenever a @leap_coaching athlete earns their way to the next weight, they are "promoted". It can be a self-promotion, coach's promotion, or proclaimed by a teammate.

@tim.leitzinger took it to a whole new level with the @roguefitness forward sled drag. Quads a burn'n! Promotion?

Doing a little birthday run.

I was in my element today. Running four hours at Mt Sunapee, NH. It was full of technical trails, high humidity, drinking straight from streams, spotting wildlife. Smelling the pine forest, patiently taking on each 1000 foot climb and following it up by crushing the downhills with @todd.bennett.90857

We call it Bertha. @roguefitness

It is a love - hate kind of thing. Some understand, yet to others, it's a mistery. Why go through such pain to move her?

Getting Bertha to move with all that weight translates into wobbly legs. Quads are burnt after. Who really won, the athlete or Bertha?

Exhaustion never felt so good.

With each week, Bertha gets heavier, and we keep moving her along.

It's an investment into the future. This is where winning starts, with moving Bertha over the summer.

Our biggest squad yet. Full of local top performing high school and college athletes in cross-country, soccer, track, lacrosse, etc.
The first week is always filled with mixed emotions. Anxiety is high as we try to get organized. On the flip side, we are energized when seeing our athletes working hard together throughout the workout. Fitness gains are observable in only a few days.

We are doing it again!

This summer's Introduction to Trail Running series starts Tuesday (6/23). We will meet every Tuesday for 6 weeks (at least) to share the enjoyment of trail running. This is a great opportunity for newcomers to learn how to run on trails, find them, discover regional trail clubs, and how to find and train for a trail race. If you're an old pro, show up and share your experiences. Maybe you'll discover trails you've never knew existed.

Heat.

Not everybody's favorite weather to train in. It makes it more challenging and it comes with risks.

Most runs should be done at cooler times of the day. However, heat isn't to be avoided at all costs. Since we don't know what race day will present, it is important to prepare for a hot race with hot weather runs.

Heat acclimation will improve with as little as one day a week run at peak temps. It is also best to acclimate through the seasons. So as temps warm up through spring, get out there on a hot day each week. Don't wait till peak summer temperatures to start.

Today it was only 82 degrees here. Just the second day this spring in the 80s. Knowing we are weeks away from this being normal and peaks in the 90s, I chose today as my heat run.

It wasn't that bad.

Steve Prefontaine (1/25/51 to 5/30/75). It was 45 years ago TODAY America's favorite track star died at age 24. At the time of his death, “Pre” held all 8 American track records from 2,000 meters to 10,000 meters. His transfixed fans would be on their feet, shouting “Go, Pre!!!” as he raced to new records. He was a ROCK star in the world of distance running!

No matter where your path eventually takes you, don't lose sight of the journey. You are not only rewarded at the finish, but often times you'll find more joy and happiness along the way. ( pc: @greaney.sean )

We are still hoping to host a Summer Strength & Conditioning Program this year. As the state opens up, we will follow the guidelines they set. Our plan is to have multiple sessions a day from last June through late August to accommodate schedules and / or COVID19 gathering restrictions
***********NEW THIS SUMMER**********
We will open up last year's college soccer running and interval conditioning program as an optional add-on to the strength program for local high school athletes this summer.

Finally, we are nearly complete with a new website for the strength and conditioning athletes to sign-up.

**Dare to dream big** In 2012 I first learned of @utmbmontblanc after stumbling onto a @youtube video. @kilianjornet was floating along a hilltop, with Mount Blanc encompassing the background and some goats 100meters down the hill side from him. I immediately decided I wanted this on my bucket list.

My journey to UTMB took 6 years. As with anything to do with ultramarathons, patience and drive towards achieving the goal is critical to completing the task. It was well worth it! Surrounded by thousands of like minded ultra-runners and supporters for an entire week felt like a fantasy, but was real! The epic natural mountainous scenery was truly jaw dropping. With a lifetime of races under my belt, this race continues to be one of my most cherished running experiences. I dream of going back once more.

Find something that excites you. Commit to it. You will be rewarded for seeing it through.

Live life to its fullest.

May 6 1954

There were three contenders (Bannister, Landy, and Santee) looking to be the first to break the four minute mile barrier when Bannister ran 3:59.4. Within 46 days, this record would be dropped even further by Landy.

Sir Roger Bannister wanted to be the first. He applied what he learned from medical school and developed structured workouts to achieve the desired physical adaptations to the race demands.

@juston.manville you still wanna do this?

For the record, that is NOT my 1000 meter PR, nor my 3rd fastest 800.
