Kevin's Blog

kevin_mastersEvery now and then, when I'm not busy working with athletes or taking care of business, I find time to write an article or two about things that are motivating, inspiring, and educating.

I hope you enjoy my blog -- feel free to drop me a note if you have something you'd like me to cover in an upcoming article!

Day 2 Spain

WOW, We introduced everyone to Spain with our famous Petra ride, its a shorter ride, a good way to start everyones outdoor riding but it offers everything in a short ~65 km ride. Small europeon towns, rolling hills, stone wall lined roads and beautifully paved amazing  "time trial" style roads. Straight, and Fast!!

The group did really well, we had 3 solid groups, each group working really well together socially and cycling abilities. The groups regroup in Preta where we enjoy the europeon square (plaza) eating cake and drinking cafe con lattes. Dont worry this is not club med, on the bikes everyone works very hard and they did start their day with a 2500 to 3000m swim workout in a beautiful outdoor pool under the sun, or sunrise I guess at 7 am. Following the ride the group changed into their workout gear and went through a intensive 25 minute stretch session and then a 25 minute core workout, some felt it this morning.

Off to enjoy day 2......................

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
