Fall Goals

The Fall Season is here and which is similar to New Years for an athletes "goal setting". For some that are approaching the busy marathon season hopefully the final touches are being put on the plan and the goals were set long ago. The Fall brings many marathons (or half marathons) Victoria, Kelowna, Toronto (x2), New York, and others. Lets hear about your upcoming race (Fall Goals). For me after a less than spirited spring / summer I have had a solid couple months and will run the Toronto Marathon Oct 17th. The event worked well with my work schedule and Toronto is a little "calmer" than the big ones (new york, boston, etc). Post your goals and good luck.

Testimonials

"I wanted to thank my APTS coaches for contributing to my recent success in the Boston Marathon where I ran a PB of 3 hours and 41 minutes. Since joining APTS I have taken 26 minutes off my marathon time while decreasing my number of runs per week. I am a believer and proof that your training plan really works. I am now dedicated to my 3 specific training runs (Tempo, Track & long run) with supplementation of a bike work out or recovery run. I would never have believed that I could increase my speed by so much, let alone run a 3:41 by doing only 3 runs/week. I am so grateful for the coaching and support that I have received from APTS. I could not have gone into my race so well-prepared if it were not for my coaches. In addition to my training plan, you help me plan my nutrition for race day, make a race plan that that allowed for modification based on race day and ensure that I was mentally and physically prepared for a hilly marathon course all so that I could execute my dream race plan. I am still basking in the success of my race.

I am so grateful to Kate, Kevin, Jon and Brian for their belief in me. Anytime that I doubted myself you were all there to tell me I could do it. Thanks for helping me fulfill a life-long dream. I will never forget my Boston experience or the help APTS gave me to get to Boston. You guys are awesome and I look forward to many more years of training together."

A sincerely happy APTS runner
