SMART Approach Training

Some Awesome Racing Results From The SMART APPROACH Team

MELISSA LAW rocked Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, MN. I started working with Melissa right in the middle of her marathon training cycle after she was struggling. She was following an aggressive plan, was burnt out & had lost her love of running. We met virtually, she connected with my message & approach & I made some changes. Less stress. More EASY running. Smarter long runs and it started turning.

The result?
More confidence & a fantastic race and PR.

"I am so happy and I finished strong. I PR'd this course today with a 4:07. Huge shout out to you Coach. Thank you for bringing such happiness back into my running life. I learned so much about myself and my running game is stronger because of your guidance!"

So happy for you to see you smiling, Melissa.

DUSTY COOKSON made a late decision to race the Whiskey Run 5K in KA. Dusty claims he doesn't like 5Ks, but I keep encouraging him to race them as they are so valuable. Ha. He battled pre-race anxiety, warm conditions & a hilly course... then ran a big 5K PR in tough conditions.

"Coach, I raced it & absolutely destroyed my 5K PR! Such a blast and 2nd place in age class. I never won anything in my age class before! Super pumped about this!"

You keep getting better, man! When is next one? Ha.

KENDAL BATUYONG lined up for the Village Creek 10K Trail Race with 3 goals: race smart, stay healthy, have fun. After everything she's battled through with her injury comeback, goal was control and fun. Even while holding back, Kendal finished 3rd Overall & 1st Female. More importantly, she was smiling & racing again. She had so much fun running in all terrain including running through a lot of water. What?? Ha. The comeback is on KB.

ANDREA DULEY raced the Blueberry Festival 5K & executed beautifully with a negative split on a very warm day. We discussed hydration & cooling strategies beforehand & she put them to great use.

"I am happy with my race. Thanks for all the good valuable advice!"

You rocked it, Andrea! So proud of you. Next time more pics. Ha.

Training is more than just following a plan. It's about adjustments. confidence, race strategy, safe progression, fueling & hydration, mindset, support & having someone by your side to navigate the bumps along the way. And to celebrate with as well!
