5 weeks left until New York City's best day of the year
The NYCM is right around the corner, if you haven't gotten in your first 20-miler, early October is the time.
Still 12 weeks left to train for the NYCM! Plenty of time to PR.
Don't settle for mass-marketed training plans. Find out for yourself the difference individual 1 on 1 training makes. Email Coach Sean for a complimentary session sean@centralparkcoaching.com
"A genuinely strong core will help maintain good running posture in the latter stages of a race"
Every one who knows me well as a coach or runner, knows I love to cross train with cycling and swimming. Read about my advice in Women's Health mag on "3 Non-Running Workouts That'll Help You Train For A Half-Marathon."
"The body limits gains when it isn't challenged in a variety of ways"
One of a few quotes I gave for this recent article in Women's Health magazine on '7 treadmill Mistakes You Might Be Making' -- http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/treadmill-mistakes
