Nark Running & Strength

Let's get the fall seasons rolling Taking some downtime and a break from racing is just as critical as everything else. Fall 2021 here we come! #dontbeaserialracer

We got together today for our season finale at ARE's Miles on the Mohawk 5/10/26.2. We had a few folks that were swinging for the fences but our main goal was not that. We came out to support Kathy Viggiano as she fights breast cancer while completing chemotherapy just a few days ago. It was great to see so many folks put their own goals aside and to come out and play in the rain. Let's hope Kathy gets another shot at the marathon and that we all stay healthy and can fight again on another day! #strongerthancancer Thx to Deb, Marna, Jim, and everyone for helping out today!

Get ready for your fall marathon!

Yes folks there is an off-season and a time to get recovered and regenerated for the next campaign. Without this time period it's difficult to reach your next, newest peak in performance. That next crest when you're better than you were last season. It's foundation time and a time to get your fitness in order for new heights. It's a great time to reflect on the past season and think about what different decisions that you can make in this new season to improve upon the l...ast. Was it hydration and fueling that you can improve upon, or did you run your long runs to quickly early in the season? June will be here before we know it and the new seasons are set to kick off. With a few exceptions noone cares or will remember how fit you were in late May- July during the off - pre-season. The trick is learning how to be in peak shape when it counts and your peak seasonal events. Summer running is for LSD and building your base for a FAST fall of racing. See more

I had the joy of running with Kathy Viggiano (and also being her paparazzi ) at the Miles on the Mohawk as we celebrated Kathy's final chemotherapy treatment. ...These are the beautiful, transcendent and inspiring moments of running that I'll never forget. Deb Valois compiled her post-race conversations with Kathy in the latest Pace Setter: https://hmrrc.com///june/five-miles-strongest-woman-i-know See more

Who says that you can't RUN pr's after 40???? In both cases these women have well over a decade of running experience and many races under their belts. Kim got her 10 mile PR by 2 mins at 1:23:54 and Jamie just missed her marathon PR by 20 secs at 3:39:41 For late May the weather cooperated pretty well despite it raining cats and dogs at the end of the marathon. This closes out our spring season as we prepare for the fall campaign! #strongerthancancer

How about our little "Half Pint" and her massive 22 min PR on race day?? Although we missed our goal we did have an excellent season with many improvements. Jaime has come a long way to become a wonderfully productive member of our squad over the past year. With similar hard work and drive there's a ton of room for more memories. #strongerfasterfurther #prsdontrunthemselves

Our womenROCKat NRS! On a warm day, with hills, Janine lowered her PR by 11 mins. This one was one of our BEST performances on the day last Sunday. We missed our A goal but on a day where many faltered we're totally stoked with this effort. There is a bright future ahead of Janine as we're just scratching the surface. Off to Boston this fall and then who knows where next. #strongerfasterfurther #prsdontrunthemselves
