I just finished my first half marathon strong and injury-free thanks to RunSmart.

I struggled with injuries and couldn’t get past running 7 miles. Last fall, I joined RunSmart and began the strength workouts Base 3 and Base 6. These workouts made me a stronger runner. I just finished my first half marathon strong and injury free thanks to RunSmart. This photo was taken near the finish of my race.

RunSmart BaseSix & Prime played a huge role in my success!

On Saturday I ran R2R2R in the Grand Canyon. Doing RunSmart BaseSix & Prime for the 3.5 months leading up to this played a huge role in my success! I can’t even imagine how much harder those climbs would have been without the strength and stability I’ve gained through these programs.

Blown away by how strong and fast the RunSmart programs made me

I jacked up my knee severely last fall and spent most of the winter not running but hammering out my rehab with RunSmart BaseSix and Mechanix. Barely ran at all in a 3-month stretch, and then after only a short base building phase, I PR’d a 5K! Blown away by how strong and fast the RunSmart programs made me without even running that much!

ZERO INJURIES!

Almost one year with RunSmart and today I finally broke the “elusive” (for me) 1:40 in the half with a time of 1:39:34 … Three minutes better than my previous best! That makes this year: two 5K’s, two 8K’s, two 10K’s, three Half’s, one Full, nine PRs … And ZERO INJURIES!!!!
