Dev Baid has transformed his running this season with the NY Flyers’ Marathon Training Program. Last weekend in Boomer’s Cystic Fibrosis Run To Breathe 4-Miler he ran 28:26, dropping 4-minutes and 49-seconds off of his personal best set back in 2015. [Results]
After the race, Dev reported his results, “My VDOT projected time was 28:24. I clocked 28:26 but my watch showed 4.05miles. This is so perfect, your training plan is awesome.”
His coach Brian Rosetti couldn’t be prouder of his progress, “When Dev started training with us in 2015 he immediately excelled at shorter speed work but struggled to maintain the same level of training on long Threshold, Marathon and Easy runs. I’m so proud to see how things have finally clicked this season because he was clearly frustrated about his ability to put all the pieces together. He persevered and was determined to get it right. Dev used to run his Threshold miles in 8:15-8:30 per mile and now he’s running them in about 7:18 per mile. His improvement for 4-miles is like dropping over 30-minutes in a marathon, so I’m excited to see him make huge strides in his goal marathon this season.”
