Cora is training for the Jack and Jill Marathon, which she'll run together with teammate Caitlin come late July! Jack and Jill is Cora's second marathon! She finished her first in a monsoon-like downpour in Honolulu, and she's now back to chase some speed! I bet with a tad more sunshine and a bit of marathon-specific pace work, her wish of running the distance in a faster time is waiting for her on the horizon!

Laura is a super strong runner from Auburn and looking to run her first 50k at @norcalultras Rio del Lago! On the way, she's planning to do the Lake Tahoe Marathon. What a great lineup!

Welcome to the team! Caitlin is training for her first marathon, the Jack and Jill Marathon near Seattle. It's a slight downhill course on an old railroad bed and goes through a two-mile tunnel. Caitlin's goal is to finish with intention, feeling strong. That's a really commendable goal for a first marathon. We'll make sure to gradually introduce longer runs while testing different fueling options on the way.

Marian is a super strong and kind lady running the Recent Reno Marathon in May! She has run seventeen (!) marathons, but somewhere in the second half, she usually has trouble staying relaxed and on pace.

Elizabeth's knee pain is in the past! So what's next? A marathon! Elizabeth is already a speedy gazelle 💨 and would like to qualify for Boston somewhere down the road. Importantly, she'd like to do it without her knee acting back up. After being cleared by PT, we're in good shape to start training, and we'll pay specific attention to the things that could have brought this on.

Proud of Harmony, who joined our team to return to what she loves after taking care of family for a long time. Harmony has her eyes on the Tahoe Marathon in the fall. She went through a serious accident, fracturing her leg, and is now working on strengthening her body alongside her running.

Meet Tony, who's aiming to qualify for Boston at the Tokyo Marathon in March! In the 70s age group, this requires about a 4:25 finish. He just ran CIM and was disappointed with his time.

Tony confided he might be struggling with back-to-back marathons more now that he's older. Yes, that's a fact. But when we looked at his running together, two things stood out more than just higher age-related recovery needs.

Are you looking to run your first marathon? Christine from Incline Village is joining our team to tackle hers sometime in the new year. She will work on a half marathon and then progress to her big goal from there.

Joel recently joined a local competitive team but has significant time constraints as the sole caretaker for two children. One is five months old! He'd like to do well in the @pausatf Road Grand Prix, even though he can only run one day a week. A couple of marathons await in the distance as well.

Meet Xander, who’s working on qualifying for the Boston Marathon with a 2:55 time. Xander ran track in high school and founded a running club at his university.

Meet Riya, a longtime runner who is running the Boston Marathon every year. Doing this requires a yearly qualifier, but this year life stressors have gotten in the way of finding the motivation to train for Riya, making her feel like she’s in a training slump.

Meet Chandra! Her goal is to qualify for the 2027 Boston Marathon. Running it will be a gift to herself for her sixtieth birthday. Chandra will attempt a qualifying time at the upcoming California International Marathon.

Meet Erin, who's training for the Eugene Marathon next spring! Erin and I connected via the Mikkeller Running Club Reno! After running the Broken Arrow Skyrace and the Reno-Tahoe Odyssey last year, she felt an injury coming on, and as a result, Erin thought she might not be able to run more than twenty-five miles per week.

Meet Tracy, who's training for the Eugene Marathon. One day, Tracy and I ran one of her workouts together, provided by an AI platform that shall not be named (think R**** 🫢). This run proved so exhausting to me I could barely keep up!

Meet Hannah, our speedy energizer bunny! Hannah is training for the 2025 New York Marathon. But just running isn’t quite enough for her—she also teaches Hot Pilates four times a week and goes on multi-hour bike rides for fun, always a smile on her face.
