I love when my athletes send over their post run comments in my FINAL SURGE coaching APP and just out of the blue throw in a testimonial. I thought I would share the one I received yesterday from a long time runner who I have been working with not 3 months or 6 months but over 2 years!
…..”My VO2max is up again to 53 now... even if it is not an exact estimate, it is still moving in the right direction. How is it that I keep improving!? I didn’t realize how much I could keep improving from your coaching/training approach….” JV
JV you keep improving because you trust your coach and the process! I don’t overanalyze these Garmin analytics. What I care most about is growth on the road and above the shoulders. And this athlete continues to improve her race times (PRs and analytics) but more importantly her pacing, feel, fueling, hydration and mindset over the past many many months learning my approach and buying into it. A training plan simply does not have a growth focus or a connection like a great coach gives you.
The SMART APPROACH is about learning, fun, growth, connection, motivation, happy running and thriving on your run journey! We celebrate every run!
I love my team! If interested in learning to love running again or even more or a breakthrough in a Fall race of yours or want to be part of a team, let’s talk. DM me.
I love research. I love teaching. And I love helping runners perform at their best.
Here is a short excerpt from a recent SMART ACADEMY Zoom call with my INNER CIRCLE runners on:
ADVANCED HYDRATION FOR PERFORMANCE
We discussed:
✅ Hydration myths and mistakes
✅ Sweat rates and sodium losses
✅ Fluid needs and blood volume
✅ Hyperhydration and salt loading
✅ Cramping and performance
✅ Cooling strategies
✅ Why hydration is much more than drinking water
My coaching philosophy blends science with common sense. Hydration isn't about forcing fluids, it's about optimizing fluid balance to help you feel better, recover faster and perform at your highest level.
To help athletes personalize their approach, I developed a SMART APPROACH Hydration Questionnaire. After analyzing each runner's responses and genetic make up, I create customized hydration recommendations for before, during, and after training and racing.
The goal?
✔ Better long runs
✔ Better hot-weather performance
✔ Better race ex*****on
✔ Better recovery
✔ Better results
This process is included with my coaching services and I also offer fueling and hydration consultations for runners looking to dial in their strategy.
The SMART APPROACH
IT. JUST. WORKS.
** If you're looking for a breakthrough in your running journey, training for a Fall Half or Marathon, or simply want to enjoy running more, let's talk. There is much more to all of this than just following “a plan”.
Free consultations always.
