This past week Run SMART client Cody Hill ran 16:09 at the Indie 5k in Austin, TX. Just last year in the same race Cody ran 16:21. This 12 second improvement is fresh off of his summer performances when he ran his fastest 1500 and 3000 meter times in 15 years!
Big congrats to Cody and his Run SMART coach Blake Boldon.
At the Boulder Road Runners All Comers Meet last weekend, Run SMART client Cody Hill ran the fastest 1500 and 3000 meter times he’s run in 15 years (when he was 21 years old)! Cody placed 2nd in the 1500 meters in 4:24.8 and 3rd in the 3000 meters in 9:40.0. On June 3rd, he ran 4:32.4 and 10:07.4 respectively for the same distances so he’s made huge strides in just the last few weeks.
Cody has been working with Run SMART coach Blake Boldon for about one year now. Blake said, “Cody is really coming into racing shape and making big progress.”
