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!

It's Only a Week!

Before you know it, you have eaten enough for 3 and drank enough for more then that and its going on day 5 or 6 or even 7. I think its tougher mentally then it really is physically.

If we could turn off our minds I am sure our bodies enjoy the freedom to eat and drink, and to not have to set alarms for 6 am swims or stay oout for 7 pm bikes. As much as you feel heavy and sluggish, take note of your first swim bike or run in the new year and see how good it feels. Note the energy and enthusiasm you have for your workout. Although not offically scheduled in our very detailed training plans this week here could be the one that catapults you into a strong and energized spring of training.

Hope you all had a great Christmas and Enjoy and Very Happy and Successful New Year.

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
