New Testimonial From Mary!

Thanks, Mary!! You rock! 

“The will to win is worthless without the will to prepare!” Coach Sean well prepared me for NYC Marathon. He demonstrated positive energy, encouragement, and expertise. One of the great attributes that Coach Sean exhibits are his listening skills and providing extra motivation on days when you just don’t want to run! I can’t thank Coach Sean enough for believing in me and empowering me to cross the finish line! Forever grateful, Mary Trezza”

The Fall season in New York City is the best time for running!! 

2015 NYC Marathon

The best day of the year in New York City. The world watches runners from all over the world make the epic journey through the five boroughs and Central Park. Love it. 

Sunday Funday

The best two months of the year for running is upon us, get out there and make it happen.

HD Slow Motion Foot Strike Analysis

I normally don't recommend to runners to change their foot strike mechanics unless it potentially is leading to injury, inefficiency or contributing as a "braking" mechanism and slowing the runner down. In this video, I analyze the foot strike from various angles and have the runner change to a forefoot strike in the last two clips.

Simplified B-skip to alleviate soreness in the hamstring & attachment

I use this simplified version of the B-skip drill to effectively relieve soreness in the ischial tuberosity (the area where the hamstrings attach to the pelvis) and stretch and strengthen the hamstrings and adductor.

Many runners get pain there, particularly if you're sitting at a desk all day. The key to doing this exercise right, is to keep the foot in the dorsiflexed position (toe pointing to the shin), straightening the leg once the knee is horizontal and then pulling down in a "pawing" motion with the leg, instead of kicking out. It takes some practice getting it right and feeling it in the attachment.
