Live from The Track: 6/22/2020. Run Stride

PREPARE YOURSELF

Learn…Practice…Workout

Today we worked on creating a more efficient Run Stride at Practice. We look to our stride for speed, endurance, efficiency and injury prevention. Today we focused on the way your foot tracks throughout your stride. With focus on the Big Toe all the way through the knee/hip/torso and head. Yes: Posture effects stride. It’s all about Run Form & Fundamentals @Leapfrog Mondays!

PREPARE YOURSELF.

One of the things you’ll hear repeated at a Leapfrog Practice is:  “Know Thyself.”  It comes with the territory of perceived effort coaching, know your effort!  It is also along these lines that effective coaching involves knowing your athletes.  Although Leapfrog is a Form & Fundamentals focused training group, we also coach strategy, discipline and encouragement.  Leapfrog seeks to develop strong athletes physically, mentally, emotionally and socially.  In addition to our weekly group workouts we also host monthly socials to build better connections to our members.  

Membership has more to offer than just savings and socials though!  Membership also builds relationships and shares experiences.  As you may have read earlier in this newsletter…our members check on each other, they care!  We support one another through our efforts and actions.  I’m happy to say that many a friendship has started at Leapfrog:)

I like to take this time to invite you start your journey with Leapfrog if you haven’t yet…and challenge you if you’ve been a part of Leapfrog!  I invite you to JOIN LEAPFROG 3 mornings a week for our local group practices!!  It’s here that we not only build strong fundamentals, master the basics but we also build strong friendships and supportive group dynamics. I would also like to take this opportunity to Challenge You!  SIGN UP for LEADVILLE!!!  “You ARE Stronger than you think you are!”  “You can do more than you think you can!”  Accept the challenge of running at 10,000 feet!  Is it easy???  NO.  Is it work??  YES!  Can you finish???  I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!  Take the challenge…Sign Up and I promise we will get you there…up to 13,000 and back to the FINISH LINE!!  

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

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 Leadville, CO to take on the Mountains!!

Cheers Everyone!!

Live from The Track 3/2/2020

PREPARE YOURSELF

Live from The Track

Learn…Practice…Workout

Today at our Form & Fundamentals Track Practice we looked at torso engagement as it relates to pace change. We focused on Breathing and Arms. The workout consisted of some abdominal work, push ups, wall squats and running. At Leapfrog we look into “How” we run…the way we use all parts of our body for faster, more efficient running.
