David Gaines Running Like It’s 1993

We were trying to come up with some famous line from the Grunge era because this guy’s recent race performance took us back to the early 90’s! Let us explain:

David Gaines of New York City trains with our Founder, Brian Rosetti and the NY Flyers’ Marathon Training Program. Last year, after his first marathon build-up with Run SMART the 63-year-old set a new PR and qualified for Boston at the Amsterdam Marathon (pictured here). Keep in mind that David didn’t get into running a few years ago, he has been running since he was in high school!

Anna Rozek Wins U.S. Masters Indoor Championships

Anna Rozek of West Bend, WI won the 2017 National Masters Indoor Championships this past weekend in the 800m. Her coach Malindi Elmore provides the recap:

“Anna raced the mile on Saturday but was disappointed with her result after finding herself boxed in most of the race. She stayed positive and turned her eye to Sunday where she came away with a personal best performance, an All American standard and a Women’s 40-44 age group win in 2:35!” [Full Results]
