Step by step

We Challenge, we work through Adversity and we experience Victory…simple right?
Well, it’s not always that cut and dry. Sometimes this process takes years – sometimes it's the case of an existing customer who doesn’t want to do an event or someone who hasn’t been directed towards the appropriate destination - we never know what that reality is until we start to dig/push/listen...

But, to be honest, it can be that simple – all it takes is planning

In early September we started talking about the fall running events and of course, promotions and excitement were created. The Fall Classic is one of the bigger runs that end the season. Mid November when the weather is changing and running gloves are necessary. The whole fall road running series potentially sets you up for the Fall Classic is half marathon.

To challenge someone is easy. To follow up and actually execute a-z is not – but our saving grace is that all one must do is plan the route and stay on top of the journey for fine tuning along the way.

It’s not rocket science that we look at; skill-set, commitment levels, potential issues, rehab/prehab progressions and a periodized program…

For Dianne, we ran a handful of times together, she ran on her own a bit, we focused on her weaknesses in the gym and continued to build her confidence around running. It’s not like she couldn’t run, she can push herself quite hard. A 10km wasn’t way out of her realm. The crazy part was that for as long as she’d been with IF, she had never done a 10km. She had completed a 5km run years ago, but didn’t think she could do anything bigger…

Fast forward – She totally rocked the 10km at the Fall Classic – no stopping, no complaining, no problem.
She ended up sprinting to the finish and was absolutely beaming from ear to ear in the end.

Rest up Dianne - we are running a tempo on Thursday and bigger run than that Fall Classic next weekend!

All it took was planning and staying true to the road map...

The best part, just imagine how excited she will be when we run the Cambodia Half together December 7th!
