Ah Yes!  Consistency…

Here we are…almost to the end of January already!  Crazy how fast the time goes by…from the holidays in Nov/Dec thru the start of the New Year…and now almost to February!  How’s your 2020 running and fitness consistency???

We all have heard about how most resolutions fail to be kept past a few weeks into the new year.  It’s always easier to just say we will do something that we know we really need to do…it’s much harder to actually commit to doing said resolution.  At Leapfrog we are here to provide the opportunity for consistency in your running, fitness & health goals.  

As January ends it’s a perfect time to re-commit to Leapfrog and join us at 1 or all 3 of our weekly workouts!  You’ll not only get great coaching and strong workouts, but you’ll also get to be social with and inspired by the other runners who have made commitments to themselves & their fitness. 

Leapfrog February begins our 4 week Hill Series to help us Overcome Obstacles and Keep Control when life/running gets difficult.  We look forward to working with each and every one of you 3 times weekly to help make you both a strong & wise runner.  The culmination of our Hill Series is our yearly DESTINATION RACE sign up for The Leadville Marathon & Heavy 1/2.  It’s taking hill running to the mountains and giving everyone the opportunity to truly test your limits.  I hope you will consider joining us for the challenge that is our Hill Series and then continue with Leapfrog out west to Leadville, CO to take on the Mountains!!

Cheers Everyone!!  

Together we will be Strong, Wise, Healthy & Fit in 2020 & Beyond.
 
All it takes is some discipline & your commitment to showing up to practice…


CHEERS!!

 Making the choice to Be Committed in 2020 & Beyond!


RUN WITH PURPOSE
LIVE WITH PURPOSE

PREPARE YOURSELF.

PLAN AHEAD.  BE DISCIPLINED.  SHOW UP.  Leapfrog offers 3 practices each week…Your Results Will Be In Proportion to Your Practice.

I look forward to seeing everyone at a Leapfrog Event this week!  In addition to the paid training listed above we also offer a weekly free Bike Ride:  Tuesday 6:30a.m. Bike Skills Ride followed by coffee.   Details can be found on the website under the events tab:)
