At the NYRR Women’s Team Championships in Central Park this past weekend, Run SMART client Cathrine Wolden, set a new PR for 5 miles. Her official time was 31:41 (6:20 per mile), which was almost two minutes faster than her previous best set back in ’09! This was Cathrine’s third PR since joining Run SMART. She is currently training for the New York City Marathon so we hope to report another big PR this fall!
Cathrine works with Run SMART coach Alicia Shay.
Two Run SMART clients and one coach competed in the NYRR Manhattan Half Marathon this past weekend in Central Park. Weather was great – 37 degrees, 5mph winds and the rain held off until later in the day!
Hector Rivera, who used the race as a workout by running tempo pace for several miles, still managed to finish third place overall in 1:09:55 (5:20 per mile) and first in his age group by almost 4 minutes! Hector is coached by Dr. Jack Daniels. (more…)
This past weekend Run SMART Project athlete Craig Berman participated in his first race. Craig decided that if he was going to get into running he may as well go all out, so he chose the New York City Marathon to be his first venture into racing.

"I've enjoyed a giddy three years of PR after PR as a newbie masters runner. I was initially skeptical about remote coaching (don't coaches stand at the finish line with a stopwatch?)" - Everett H.
