Make Sure you are choosing the best shoe for your training and specifically for your feet.

The human foot is an amazing shock absorber and the idea of running barefoot isn't crazy if you want to run faster. A stronger, more supple foot and ankle will allow a runner to race faster. In my search to find a way to strengthen my feet to withstand the rigors of running ultra marathons I came to barefoot running over four years ago. I started slow running barefoot for 5mins every other day and built up to being able to run 90mins straight over a period of two years.

While focusing on quality equipment and proper fitting of all the shoes we offer, we can offer something for everyone. Weather you are looking to run for fitness or set a new PB, we can find a shoe that is right for you. At Fast Trax Run & Ski Shop we have several categories of shoes to match your exercise goals. Each category has a specific purpose and is matched to your needs.
"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. |
